SUCCESS LEAVES CLUES

We asked Aramide for Clues

Something that catalyzed your growth - besides working hard?

One thing that has catalyzed my growth so much is my relationships with people. These include with my husband, family, friends, pastors, mentors, coaches, and colleagues. I am so grateful for the gift of people and the wisdom of God inherent in them.

Something you're most proud of?

I am so proud of how I have been able to carry myself as a mother. I have been present with my little girl without sacrificing what matters to me most. I’ve been able to juggle all my commitments and responsibilities in this hectic phase of my life and journey.
I am proud of myself, for how strong, resilient, and courageous I have been to show up. Even when I do not feel like it sometimes, I still show up hard and juggle my commitments excellently. I am proud of you, Arams!

Worth Remembering

Living a life that counts is not subject to age or status. Rather, it is hinged on intentional decisions and actions.
