I recently caught up with Jewel Okwechime (Head, Administration & Business Development, Transcorp Plc) to find out what makes her smile so often.
- What inspires you-?
I am inspired by love and love energy. The people I love inspire me. I feel inspired everyday by the simplest things on earth. Today, I feel inspired by Shina our pool car driver. He has this presence, light and he is so humble. I love that about him.
2. How do you unwind?
I unwind in so many ways. I love swimming and being inside the water. Water calms me and melts away all my stress.
3. Best book read?
My best book……I would narrow it down to The All Knowing Diary by Daniel Rechnitzer
4. Best film watched?
Today it has to be Stonehearst Asylum 2014.
5. Favourite football club or any other sport that strikes your fancy?
I love boxing. It’s all about leg work which is similar to dancing. I enjoy watching boxing matches.
6. Most embarrassing moment ever experienced?
It has to be in NYC. I was walking across the street on a zebra crossing and I landed splat! On the floor, like an omelette. I lifted my head up to an audience of Americans laughing at me. I just got up and continued walking…….it was funny!
I didn’t land gracefully.
7. Happiest moment ever experienced?
I have too many……..My birthday surprise from my love was the best surprise and made me the happiest woman ever.
8. What is family to you?
Family to me isn’t blood relations. Although my mum is my family ROCK! My everything. Family to me are the people in my life that accept me for whom I am, support me and are always there for me no matter what. It is filled with Love! Love! Love!
9. Turn on’s?
Wealth, Health, Love, Nutrients, Honesty, Humour, Good heart, Intelligence, Respectful Nature, Romance, Music, Discipline, Positive Energy, Dancing, Laughing, Success, Naturist….List is endless.
10. Turn off’s?
Bad odour, poor hygiene, messy, dirty fingernails (yuck!!!), bad breath…..just being dirty is a major turn off.
