She shares the experiences that shaped her entrepreneurial path, the challenges of building Red Chilli, and the doubt and scepticism she encountered while building Sandbox.Beyond business, Femi opens up about life as a wife to a prominent public figure and the realities of navigating marriage when life becomes difficult. She reflects on supporting her husband through the devastating experience of a stroke and what such a season can teach you about love, sacrifice, resilience and the responsibilities we carry for the people closest to us.She speaks about a deeply painful experience that many women and couples endure away from the public eye.
