Healing Together with Sanyade Okoli

We will all agree that these past few weeks haven’t been easy on most people, especially those living in Nigeria - the riots at Orile, the Lekki Toll Gate ambush and the ensuing roller coaster of attacks on life and businesses across the country. To help our healing process, we will be holding a communal therapy session with @sanyadeokoli on our weekly AGS Lightbox session to address how the losses of the past weeks affected each individual and how to work through it. Sanyade is an inner healing practitioner, helping people to identify and address soul wounds. Also, she is a senior finance professional and the Chief Executive Officer of Alpha African Advisory Limited based in Lagos, Nigeria.
