- I wish I could go back and meet my younger self to tell her that in life no condition or situation is permanent. Whether it is a good or bad thing or situation, time will come and go, things will change just like the seasons. Take heart and never stop pursuing your dreams. In fact, dream bigger dreams for yourself and work hard to pursue them. And as you pursue your dreams and you face obstacles and challenge the highs and the lows that come your way, keep in the back of your mind that no condition is permanent. Get comfortable behind the wheel, but don't get complacent.
- ASCHOBI is a play on the spelling of the Yoruba word "Aso ebi". It is a concept that is practiced throughout the West African region. For any particular event or any particular gathering in which a group of individuals want to be identified as a unit, they will choose to wear the same material, sometimes in the same style. [It is done ] to be exclusive, but at the same time inclusive.
- I believe that a developing country, as well as any modern country, needs the avant-garde to reach greater social achievements. I am aware that the average Sierra Leonean may not be able to afford a modestly priced Aschobi piece. But in the long run, they will benefit from the new image Aschobi is carving for Sierra Leone. Therefore, I am designing fashion as a Sierra Leonean. I am launching this platform from Sierra Leone to represent Sierra Leone.
