Journey into the World of (Gift )
About me?
My name is Nwabueze Adanna gift ( Aiyedege means a child is a king while Damilola means the first daughter of her father in my language) Am 23 year old female from Nigeria, Delta state. Am a graduate of political science (B.Sc)Abrose Alli University. my best food is ofe Nsala(white soup with pounded yam (an Igbo delicacy in the south eastern part of Nigeria😍)
. Nigerian has three main ethnic groups with three unique languages which are ( Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba ) but there are many other languages in Nigeria, I am from the Igbo speaking tribe but I speak Igbo and Yoruba with English.
I love dancing, swimming and drawing
In the vibrant tapestry of Nigerian culture, the belief in the significance of both formal education and practical skills has been deeply ingrained in the hearts of parents. For me, growing up in a polygamous family further emphasized the value of becoming someone of substance, regardless of gender.
As the cherished daughter of my mother, the legitimate wife of my father, I stood as a unique symbol of hope and promise in our household, surrounded by four adoring brothers. While my parents emphasized the importance of education, they also recognized the transformative power of hands-on skills. Thus, alongside my pursuit of formal education, I embarked on a journey to cultivate my talents as a graphic designer and a makeup artist.
Through dedication and passion, I honed my skills in graphic design, immersing myself in the art of visual communication. Simultaneously, I ventured into the world of makeup, discovering a realm where creativity and artistry could transform a person's confidence and self-expression.
The spirit of entrepreneurship flowed in my veins as I began selling men's clothing, not just to support myself but also to contribute to my education. Balancing academia and business in pursuit of self-reliance was undoubtedly challenging, but the journey shaped me into a resilient individual, embracing the diversity of experiences life had to offer.
Navigating the complexities of a polygamous family was an additional layer to my life's canvas. As the only daughter, I navigated through unique expectations, cherished memories, and moments of self-discovery. This path was filled with both challenges and blessings, shaping my character and strengthening my resolve to make a difference in my world.
In this tale of growth and self-discovery, I find solace in the profound love and support of my parents, whose dreams for my future are rooted in both education and skill. The harmony between the pursuit of formal knowledge and practical abilities has kindled an unyielding flame within me, empowering me to dream beyond boundaries and blaze a trail of success for myself and those around me.
So, with each step forward, I cherish the essence of my upbringing, savoring the love of my family, and embracing the power of education and skill as I strive to craft a future where success knows no bounds. This is my story—a journey of resilience, creativity, and the unwavering pursuit of becoming someone who thrives, not just for myself, but for the betterment of all.
My childhood experience
Growing up as the only daughter in my family, I found myself enveloped in a world of expectations and cultural norms that dictated the path I should tread. In Nigeria, particularly among the Igbo community, parents often make decisions for their daughters, shaping their lives according to long-held traditions. Thus, from a tender age, I was gently guided towards becoming the ideal daughter.
In the embrace of such expectations, I discovered a unique sense of responsibility—one that urged me to follow the prescribed path laid out for me. While my brothers roamed freely, playing ball and exploring the world outside, I found solace in the confines of our home. I was told whom to avoid, which activities to abstain from, and how to conduct myself, all in the pursuit of fulfilling the image of the perfect daughter.
Social interactions were kept to a minimum, as I was encouraged to stay away from those who might challenge the norms set for me. Without many friends to confide in, I became my own companion, seeking solace in my creativity. Drawing and painting became my sanctuaries, as I found solace in the world I could create on paper.
My father's love meant the world to me, and I strived relentlessly to become the epitome of his dreams. I embraced the role of the ideal daughter, respecting traditions and adhering to the expectations set for me. Yet, amidst the confines of these expectations, I yearned for a touch of freedom, a chance to explore the world beyond the walls of my home.
In my own small ways, I crafted joy and amusement. While my childhood may not have been the epitome of exhilaration, I sought to infuse it with my own brand of fun. I embraced my creativity, turning my solitude into a sanctuary of imagination and self-expression.
As I grew older, I began to question the norms that bound me and embarked on a journey of self-discovery. Breaking away from the mold of the "ideal daughter," I found my voice and my independence. My heart soared as I grasped the freedom to chart my own path, embracing my uniqueness and relinquishing the shackles of societal expectations.
In this story of defiance, I found the courage to challenge the status quo and celebrate my individuality. With every brushstroke of empowerment, I embraced the woman I was destined to be—strong, creative, and unyielding. Through my journey, I seek to show that a daughter, regardless of tradition, has the power to shape her destiny and dance to the rhythm of her own heart. My childhood may have been governed by expectations, but my life is now defined by the strength of my spirit and the beauty of my dreams.
INTRODUCTION TO PEAKD
My acquaintance with PEAKD came about just last week when I found myself in a precarious situation. I needed to pay for my final year project, a crucial milestone in my academic journey, without which all my four years of hard work would be in jeopardy. Faced with the prospect of having to repeat a year of studies and pay for both tuition and project expenses all over again, I felt a wave of worry and uncertainty engulf me.
In my moment of distress, I confided in a friend, sharing the weight of my financial burden. To my relief, he offered a helping hand, promising to assist me in my time of need. However, being someone who values self-reliance and hard work, I also expressed my desire to earn for myself, not wanting to solely depend on others.
With determination in my heart and a strong work ethic, I asked my friend if he knew of any employment opportunities or tasks I could undertake to support myself. I expressed my aversion to idleness, as I am someone who thrives on productivity and believes in earning a living through dedication and perseverance.
Thus, my introduction to PEAKD, a platform where I could leverage my skills and talents to engage in work and receive compensation, offered a glimmer of hope. This opportunity to work and be rewarded for my efforts resonated deeply with my principles, fueling my determination to overcome my financial challenges and achieve my dreams.
In this pursuit of self-sufficiency and the relentless drive to succeed, I find solace in knowing that through Hive, I can carve a path towards financial independence while showcasing my abilities to the world. With unwavering strength and an eagerness to seize opportunities, I am ready to embrace the possibilities that Hive has to offer, knowing that it holds the potential to transform my life and empower me on my journey to a brighter future.
What truly amazed me was the fact that PEAKD not only provided a space to share my content but also rewarded me with cryptocurrency for doing so. It was mind-boggling to learn that PEAKD had garnered such recognition that it currently ranked among the top 20 on the U.S. App Store.
As I delved deeper into understanding PEAKD, my friend enlightened me about its unique concept. I discovered that PEAKED was more than just a social media platform; it was a revolutionary ecosystem where creativity and engagement were rewarded with tangible value. This realization stirred a newfound motivation within me to utilize this platform to share the richness of my culture, which often remained concealed from the world's view.
In today's fast-paced world, many tend to overlook the significance of preserving and celebrating our cultural heritage. Yet, as my friend pointed out, even Jesus Christ emphasized the importance of honoring tradition rather than abolishing it. Thus, I found a sense of purpose in using Hive as a platform to shed light on the aspects of my tradition that have remained hidden for generations.
With this newfound purpose, I embark on this Hive journey with a passion for sharing the intricacies of my culture that most people, both in Nigeria and across the globe, have yet to discover. Through my posts, I hope to open windows into a world that brims with untold stories, time-honored practices, and treasured beliefs, all waiting to be unveiled.
As I venture into this realm of creativity and cultural exploration, I am excited to witness the potential of PEAKD in not only rewarding my efforts but also connecting me with a global community that appreciates and values cultural diversity. With every post I share, I hope to ignite conversations, foster understanding, and leave an indelible mark on the digital landscape.
In the embrace of PEAKD, my journey finds a purposeful direction, and I eagerly anticipate the adventure that lies ahead. As I embark on this new chapter, armed with the power of PEAKD and the fervor to share my heritage, I am poised to make a difference, one post at a time
