It's so refreshing to hear entrepreneurs and, more specifically, successful Black Female Founders profess Christ and declare His works in their lives. A true witness. Olamide, you are an inspired leader and a valued woman of valour. We are in awe of you stewarding your gifts, honouring your call, and living bodly for God. Continued blessings, favour, and prosperity 🙏🏽 ❤

[@Abbas_Daughters]

Amen 🙏🏾❤️❤️

[@iza595]

The fact that Olamide means wealth or riches. Her parents KNEW!🤩

[@hernameiscyn]

Her parents destined it by honoring her with the name.

[@faloduoluwatosin6781]

"OLAMIDE" is a yoruba name from Nigeria meaning; my wealth has come/arrive - Ola-mi-de.

“A lack of trust in God is pride, a lack of trust in the highest power is arrogance “!

[@fastpraylemonade]

When you watch this you can’t help but to feel a literal burning desire and itch to FINALLY start the thing God has been nudging you to do. Almost like, you have to pause the video just to start

[@KeviahIsaacs]

!!!!!! This

[@sveltelee5545]

So true 😭😭

[@itsrheachelle]

Exactly!! This conversation has blessed me so much!

[@PrissyPix11]

Woowww!!! Yesss!! That’s exactly how I felt while watching. In fact I actually paused and got moving. Sooo good!

[@ruthyagatha]

[@livewithashley]

This episode filled me so much😩. A young successful Black woman of God! A Nigerian like me🥺? I’m so moved Thank You Jesus for continuously using my generation in new, fresh ways in every sector, room and practice to spread Your Glory!

[@Gymwithtiny]

Yall don’t understand how this video speaks to me. I been on my journey with Christ & asking God about my businesses I want to create.

[@lashayxo]

i just know God called for her to be here because so many of us need to hear this.

[@nwaliweakuanidi6235]

“Trusting God in the rejection and delay”🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@mariagraves2474]

The fact that this channel even was recommended to me the day you released your first episode is God’s power and hand moving in my life and I pray in others as well. Not sure what it means for my life but I can say there is a reason why I was lead here and i know God will reveal it in his own time. I ask you Lord that you send down a rain shower of blessings on this show as well as all involved and all who watch and lead more people to be apart of the conversation. I ask that you keep Buku and all involved in your protection and allow her to continue to walk in your glory. In your wonderful holy holy holy name. AMEN!

[@yasmineamon]

I bought my first Topicals product on Sunday bc my sister recommended it. I knew about the brand but had no idea Olamide was a believer. (maybe it's my phone stalking my purchases) but I'm gonna give God praise for leading me to this video! So grateful to hear her testimony 💖

[@kunmia3034]

“The nos are really important” - a reminder to let doors close.

[@luyandaketelo]

As a cosmetic brand ceo myself this reaffirmed me of God’s will and his higher plans so much. Thank you

[@niablee]

I see an Olamide Olowe interview, I click. I never get tired of hearing her story, faith and journey!

[@TosinAlabi]

Such a beautiful Interview with salient points. Look at the subtle references to their parents being in the faith. Divine orchestration on meeting destiny helpers. Continuous leaning into the wisdom of God. Tithing even in the little. Over 100 pitching to founders, but one just chose to say yes. Good character, many scriptural references from the anchor aswell! So inspired to do more. Thank you for sharing.

[@rachealikulagba2428]

And you sharing it on your Instagram story brought me here thanks for all you do Tosin

[@HleloAndNtando]

"God Is My Create Director" - Dope title! 🙌🏾 Great conversation ladies ❤

[@gl0hen]

THIS CONVERSATION IS SO ENCORAGING!!!! The privilege of knowing the Lord and knowing He's on our side allows us to have peace in the midst of hardships and rejection. Whhheeww man I needed that. "God don't give it to me too early because I may lose it." SO GOOD!!!! That prayer takes faithfulness, patience, and trust in the Lord. Like WOW! Olamide has such a beautiful story. BUKU!!! Thank you again for your obedience and your production team for their excellence in producing such an impactful show. 💐💐

[@helensalako9648]

“God don’t give me too early until you know I can sustain it” - this part hits differently! Thank you.

[@BigIdeaWoman]

This interview was made for me. Thank you so much Buku and Olamide. God bless you both

[@ebere_Oyimadu]

I don’t want money to use me but to use money for the glory of God❤

[@daphnebianca]

knowledge and networking but most of all GOD! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@ibukunojediran5911]

Thanks for doing this. Found this in a waiting season. Blessed me greatly 😊. God reemphasised “ I never want money to use me, I use money for God’s glory’. In God’s words to me “Money is my errand boy, I will not be enslaved by money”. Thank you God, thanks Buku and Olamide 😊. God bless you.

[@Weszzzz_]

Omor!!! Patience, posture, Longsuffering!!! Word!!

Thank you Holy Spirit for guiding me here. Thank you ladies. This was very inspiring

[@TheonlykayR]

[@moeshaj.6637]

This touched me so deeply! I’m so happy to see us black women include GOD in everything! That’s the key to this life

[@bevspeaks]

“How are you during the wait?” - okay, but why are you screaming 😭 this is so real! Checking heart posture to see if it really matches one’s prayer is too real!!

[@RosemaryEkele]

Ouu, I was so blessed by this. When I saw “God is my creative director” I hit subscribe with the quickness! God is good, all the time!!

[@mcamara9529]

This was an absolute gem of an interview. Even though I am Muslim, I found this to be so relatable and inspiring. I love seeing young black women unafraid to talk about their walks in faith.❣️thank you for sharing!

[@insertsomethingcatchy]

[@ninagrandy4715]

A very wise woman indeed. And she doesn’t even know it…. She is a testimony.

[@effaenya4701]

Pride does not always look like boastfulness. A lack of trust in the highest power that exists is pride.💯

[@emilyadu-akuffo7117]

I’m so inspired and blessed, been putting off watching this video for soooo long and I now understand why God kept bringing it back 🥹❤️🔥

Thank you so much ladies, as a founder in the early stages with lots of “NOs” I appreciate this video more than words can describe. It is such a blessing to be able to relate to a story so profound. It keeps me centered and faithful to my journey and trust in God. Definitely a testament to my alignment 🫶🏾

[@arinicolesmith]

Love this podcast and I can’t wait to see more conversations between you and your guest. God is doing something here ❤

[@AngelicaDFranklin]

I love how she went somewhere and like it worked out and sometimes I feel like because I stayed in one place like a state or an area or industry. I feel like I’m missing out what God is telling me or getting there faster to what God is telling me and I know he will always get me there and I think what I need to do is learn how to actually just pray and tell him what do you actually want me to do to get where you want me to be because sometimes I get lost, I can confused. I wanna do so many things, but I don’t want to be a blockage to what God wants me to do.

[@Debbysworld_]

Thisss!!!!!... I want to do so many things, but I don't want to be a blockage to what God wants me to doo... God will help us🤲🏻😩
