From Dreaming Big To Breaking Guiness World Records, The Hilda Baci Story

What are your dreams and future aspirations; do they scare you or do they inspire you to keep pushing? On this episode of Tea With Tay Temisan takes a seat with renowned chef and Guinness World Records holder for the longest cooking marathon, Hilda Bassey, 4 years after she'd dreamed of notching that achievement.
Now a restaurant owner and a culinary teacher to a total of more than 6,000 students, Hilda had surprisingly not been passionate about her cooking talent and had gone down a different path, trying out her hand at the showbiz world by working as a TV presenter for two years before listening to God's will for her life and acting accordingly.
No episode of Tea With Tay is ever complete without surprises and revelations that track back to the guest's childhood. On this seat, Hilda talks about her upbringing as the second child of seven children raised primarily by her mother in Abuja and how unfortunately and for reasons unknown to her, the relationship with her father became rocky.
Just like Hilda's dreams inspired her to break and make new records, this episode will enrich and inspire you as it brings us to a full circle moment where we see 8 year-old Hilda whose needs were catered to by her restauranter mom, turn around to be a source of inspiration to her mother whose business encountered some challenges and later on, Nigerians all over the country.
This episode is for anyone doubting their dreams, scared of how they'll achieve them. Listen with an open heart and enjoy!

To me what I see from Hilda Baci’s story, which happens to us all is that God allows us to go through certain process to gain experience/skills that’ll be valuable for our purpose. So I don’t see the journey to purpose as a waste or mistake, but a process.

[@wealthkpokpogri5588]

Feels like she was talking about my mum 🥰, God bless all mothers

[@nwabuakuobi7605]

Hilda is wonderful lady and I'm inspired by her story. She has fought through life and achieved so much at her age. I'm glad she's putting her story out there so people can understand her journey and look beyond the stereotypes about her physical attributes. She's an intelligent lady who has so much to offer. I wish her more successes. Taymesan, please bring Sharon Ooja next. Thanks.

Hilda is such a good business woman. Such knowledge, will and drive is so impressive especially at her age. Your achievement is one of the few good things to happen to Nigeria this year. Your mommy, brother should remain so proud. Taymesan thank you for sharing that part of you and always making your guest comfortable. Your space is such a healthy place.

[@ellville0]

You all are seriously funny! And guess what? She's not the first person to put her foot on the chair during the show! 🤣.I absolutely love how Tay's podcast creates such a cozy and welcoming atmosphere for her guests. It's all about having genuine conversations and making them feel right at home. No stiff, formal interviews here! Tay's podcast is all about keeping it real and letting the conversations flow naturally.

[@RainbowcocktailsNG.]

Why didn’t they edit the part where she was saying Eni

[@br0broe436]

It's funny how Hilda says she studies her friends and how they act but you can't see how Ama treats people, you turn a blind eye on her behaviour because you don't want to loos her as a friend

[@meekness3385]

How does she treat them?

[@charitybella9702]

She just kept saying eni 😂

[@yo-a]
