ONE-CHOJO

About a year ago, I took a bet on myself to grow my online presence. I started a 100-day Tweethathon. I had a little over 500 followers on X and one question: could I grow this community to 5,000 in one year? Today, I have over 6,500 followers, but the numbers are the smallest part of this story. For one year, I showed up here consistently. I wrote, shared, engaged, learned, and kept showing up, even on days when I had very little left to give. I did this while working full-time as a Senior Registrar in Surgery, building Olive Virtual Clinic, raising a family, serving in leadership roles and navigating the many demands of everyday life. It wasn't always easy, but I made a commitment to myself, and I honoured it. I made wonderful new friends and reconnected with old ones. I encountered ideas that challenged my thinking and found people whose work inspired me to be a better person. I also started a community for ladies in surgery. Today, we have over 100 women in that community. Recently, I had the privilege of delivering the keynote address and participating in a panel discussion at the HireGround Kwara Career Fair 2026 with over a thousand registered and over 500 participants in attendance. After the event, over 20 people indicated that they wanted me to mentor them, and I have already onboarded 2 of them. When I look back, I realise that this was never just about growing an account. It was about the relationships, the opportunities, the lessons, the ability to put myself out there and the person I became along the way. I made a promise to myself and I have experienced far more than I imagined possible. And for all of it, I am grateful to God. I have come to appreciate that being intentional about building a meaningful life also means knowing when to step back to reflect and replenish. I want to enjoy some quiet moments without feeling the need to publish them on X.

To everyone who followed, read, commented, shared my posts, sent a message, challenged my thinking, offered an opportunity or became a friend along the way, thank you. You made this year memorable. I do not take your kindness, support, recommendations, invitations or trust for granted. A year ago, I introduced myself with three statements: I speak. I write. I lead. This year, I have had the privilege of living those words in ways I could not have fully anticipated. I started with a promise to myself. I am stepping away with a heart full of gratitude for how far that promise has taken me. I will see you when I return. With Love, Dr Olawunmi Adenuga. ❤️
