The Undiluted Path:
“Who send me message?” is a common phrase in Nigeria that expresses doubt and frustration — like asking yourself, Why am I even doing this? Who told me to take on this challenge? Did I even advise myself at all? It’s that moment when the weight of uncertainty and self-doubt feels heavy.
But for Adedoyin Mfon, those doubts were just the beginning of an incredible journey. From Lagos to Scotland, she faced uncertainty head-on, pushed past the tough questions, and is now making remarkable strides.
