As someone who’s had to fight hard for my own dreams — through seasons of doubt and doors that just wouldn’t open — seeing Ada’s post and the look on her mother’s face as she watched herself onscreen brought me to tears.

That moment broke me in the best way.

Nobody has the right to tell you it’s too late. Nobody gets to write the end of your story but you

Today, mummy’s dreams are coming true — again – through Omoni Oboli TV.

And if it’s her day today, tomorrow could be yours.

It’s only up from here!.”
