Dear ,
It feels so good to be writing to you again.
I Honestly did miss you, even when I know that I barely crossed your mind.
Today, as Nigeria celebrates her 65th Independence Day which is a day of resilience, hope, and new beginnings.
I’m reminded of the strength and unity within our own community.
I thought to myself
"This feels like the perfect moment to reconnect, share a personal journey, and look ahead to the exciting things we’re building together"
A Journey Through Trials and Triumphs
The past few weeks have been some of the toughest of my life. I fell seriously ill and was diagnosed with both malaria and typhoid.
There were moments I found myself slipping in and out of consciousness — moments where everything felt uncertain.
Yet in that storm, I discovered gratitude: for life, for God’s mercy, and for the thought of this community that keeps me anchored.
But even in the middle of the battle, light broke through: I am partially, finally, a graduate! 🎓 (whatever that means lol)
All that’s left is the publishing of my project, and then the journey will be complete. This milestone feels even sweeter knowing I get to share it with you — a community that has grown with me through different seasons.
A Special Thank You
In my weakest moments, kindness meant the world. I want to give a heartfelt shout-out to Priscilla, whose check-ins reminded me that community is more than just conversations — it’s care, it’s presence, it’s love in action.
Thank you.
What’s Next for The Creatives Discuss?
So Teso, What's the plan?
If I had a dollar for every time I got asked that question, I'd be on Jeff Bezos' level of wealth by now.
Fret not!
Now that I’m back — better, stronger, and full of renewed energy — it’s time to breathe new life into this community we’ve built together. Here’s what’s ahead:
- Twitter Space Series
This October We’ll be hosting a series of interactive Twitter Spaces, designed to inspire, share knowledge, and spark new ideas. But this isn’t just mine to decide — I’d love your input:
Who would you like to hear from as a guest speaker?
What subject matters should we explore together?
Your voice will shape these conversations. Reply to this email or share in the group — I want this to truly feel like ours.
- A Physical Conference is Coming!
Yes, you heard right. We’re dreaming of gathering in person for a community conference — a space to connect, collaborate, and celebrate creativity like never before. More details will come soon, but I couldn’t wait to let you know that the vision is already alive.
I write to you today filled with gratitude, strength, and optimism. Life reminded me recently how fragile everything can be — but it also reminded me of how powerful togetherness truly is. Thank you for being part of this family. Let’s keep building, supporting, and dreaming big — for ourselves, for each other, and for the creative ecosystem we believe in.
With love and renewed energy,
Omótèsó
