I’m Rashidat Olabisi Almeda Tanica Abesha Esther Odeyemi.  Yep, that’s actually my whole name!  My mother chose to uphold the naming tradition from my father’s Nigerian tribe… fun fact I thought I’d share…

 

Here are 10 basics about me:

  • I’m 32 years old, birthday is March 22nd, single, no children, and the youngest of 3.
  • I am such a foodie!  And my favorite snack is popcorn made on the stove.  Where is the best place to get your favorite dish?  I’ll be over for dinner!
  • I love to dance, in particular Chicago style Steppin’, listen to music, and sing. 
  • My favorite colors are currently Teal and Royal blue.
  • I’ve lived in 6 different states and 1 other country, but I call Atlanta my home because that is where I surrendered fully to Him and found an amazing church home that has taught me how to live a Godly life, rather than just a good life.
  • I love people especially to play a game of Spoons or Headbands, but I enjoy my alone time as well.
  • My friends and family would describe me tough, but has a big heart.
  • I’m passionate about people, but I love children and I love traveling.
  • I gave my life to Christ in my car one day when my practical mind finally realized that doing life the world’s way was stupid and was not getting me where I wanted to be.  That day I went from being a “Christian” to letting go of the wheel and moving to passenger seat.  I’ve been abundantly blessed ever since!
  • Why am I doing the World Race?  Because I prayed heavily for a change in my life and this is what God responded with as the answer.  I’m excited to be obedient and for the adventure ahead.  There is never a dull moment when you are REALLY & TRULY down with God!

This is just the beginning of my journey and I’m so happy that you decided to join me.  I can’t wait to share my revelations and experiences with you and I hope that you continue to pray and respond on the posts as we do this together!
