Quiet Confidence

Her first idea to help those less fortunate then herself was to become a lawyer but her gift with recitation and writing ended up with her in the English department instead. She is very glad of that for many reasons, perhaps the most is meeting and marrying her school heartthrob and having 2 daughters with him. But learning she can wield her pen to craft words as beautiful as her spoken ones, she feels confident of her abilities to help reach the woman and girls who need her help most of all.
Her goal is to extend the NGO’s for woman and girls so they reach into more rural areas where the need is as great as in Lagos where she currently lives. In her own words Olutosin states “I believe in this approaching change!” She would love for the woman and girls of Nigeria to meet Jensine Larsen, our own Oracle who inspires us all. She found Pulsewire to be a place where she sees herself reflected in woman from many races and it gives her the quiet confidence to know that the beauty of her soul is reflected in the beauty of her words.
