Hi everyone... I know it’s been a while. How have you been? I hope you’ve been keeping safe and sane. It’s been an interesting few months hasn’t it? Lol. Okay so, this is my last post on The Wawa New Yorker... After 5 years, it’s finally time for a transition. I have started a new project, which I am about to tell you about. But I didn’t want to pack up shop here, without leaving you all, with one last post: Have you ever wondered “how did I get here?” And not in a good way. This was me, December 2019, sitting in a little conference … [Read more...]
Be Obsessed with your Success!
Hello and Happy Tuesday! I hope all is well and you have started the Oscars Challenge. Okay so, how’s your 2019 looking? It’s okay, you can be honest. This is a safe space 😊.

When he won, I lost my cool (click here if you missed it). I got a few calls, lost a friend or few, received a lot of side comments “Obiageli, I didn’t know you were capable of anger” and all what not. I said it from the … [Read more...]

HAPPY FRIDAY MY LOVES! I hope you had a great week! *singing and swaying from side to side* Do you know what today is? IT'S MY BLOGAVERSARY!!! ??? Yes oh! Thewawanewyorker.com is two years old today and I AM ELATED! HOLLER!!!!!!!!! For those of you who may be new to my little-baby-product-of-love, allow me to provide some context. For years, writing has been my outlet. I haven’t always trusted people to handle my truth (still don't) so I wrote them down. Every once in a while, I would send something I wrote to a random person and ask for feedback. … [Read more...]
