A 6 inch-heel-wearing, hair flipping, boss-behaving superstar. I mean; why not? I have been very self-aware from an early age. I knew I was multi-talented and intelligent, overachieving was my norm. Daddy\u2019s little girl had a lot to say and my dream in life was to have everybody listen. My home tutor nicknamed me \u2018Asoro Magbesi\u2019. I can\u2019t believe that baby boomer basically called me a radio throughout my childhood. The only issue was, that I was a Lion at home but an antelope in public.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heirsholdings.com\/hhpeople\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_4512.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6704\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heirsholdings.com\/hhpeople\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_4512-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"487\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heirsholdings.com\/hhpeople\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_4512-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.heirsholdings.com\/hhpeople\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_4512-1024x574.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.heirsholdings.com\/hhpeople\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_4512-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.heirsholdings.com\/hhpeople\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_4512-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.heirsholdings.com\/hhpeople\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_4512-750x421.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.heirsholdings.com\/hhpeople\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_4512-1140x639.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.heirsholdings.com\/hhpeople\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_4512.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 487px) 100vw, 487px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I was a very shy child. At school, Anuoluwapo\u2019s voice wasn\u2019t heard unless she was asked a question. I was a self-starter and class captain many years in a row; I was a model student, but for some reason, I felt like an imposter. Whether or not I didn\u2019t know who I was or wanted to be, I knew I wasn\u2019t going to be told what to do or who to be.<\/p>\n<p>My mum was convinced I would be a lawyer as I loved to question everything until I was convinced beyond doubt. Thoughts such as the oldest sibling picking food first, or getting preferential treatment didn\u2019t just sit right with me I suppose. However, over the years I began to let my superstar light shine, in music, dance, literature, art and education.<\/p>\n<p>I moved from not knowing if I truly could become a superstar to not knowing which superstar to be. At 13 I was sure I wanted to grace stages such as the Grammys and MTV Music Awards. My parents believed in me more than I believed in myself and to this day, my father asks why I stopped making music and I reply, \u201cUni came early, I had to grow up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If I must say my truth, I did not want to be in the university. I never liked it for a day, but I was there studying Business Administration with a couple of coursemates I did not like either. A year later, our educational system happened, and I was advised to move to Law. I couldn\u2019t believe my mum was going to win after so many years of calling me \u2018Agbejoru\u2019, Lawyer. When I realised how many years, I\u2019d have to spend in school I asked for another option and Mass Communication opened its doors to me. I found a field where I could hone my many skills and interests to tell a story or two. I could be myself through my words, lyrics, and art. My love for Media &amp; Broadcasting allowed me to see the superstar I was born to be.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heirsholdings.com\/hhpeople\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1ED998DE-9AE4-4B64-A23F-AF032C5C0FBD_1_105_c.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6703 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heirsholdings.com\/hhpeople\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1ED998DE-9AE4-4B64-A23F-AF032C5C0FBD_1_105_c-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"494\" height=\"329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heirsholdings.com\/hhpeople\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1ED998DE-9AE4-4B64-A23F-AF032C5C0FBD_1_105_c-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.heirsholdings.com\/hhpeople\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1ED998DE-9AE4-4B64-A23F-AF032C5C0FBD_1_105_c-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.heirsholdings.com\/hhpeople\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1ED998DE-9AE4-4B64-A23F-AF032C5C0FBD_1_105_c-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.heirsholdings.com\/hhpeople\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1ED998DE-9AE4-4B64-A23F-AF032C5C0FBD_1_105_c-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.heirsholdings.com\/hhpeople\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1ED998DE-9AE4-4B64-A23F-AF032C5C0FBD_1_105_c-750x500.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/www.heirsholdings.com\/hhpeople\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1ED998DE-9AE4-4B64-A23F-AF032C5C0FBD_1_105_c.jpeg 1086w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 494px) 100vw, 494px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Today, I\u2019m one of your favourite people whom you call MCC.
