When Octavia realised her job was to remember ‘Who I am’
Graduating from the school of hard-knocks, I learnt how to transmute pain into power. I realised at a very young age, that my destined path would be a rather unconventional one, to say the least. Being faced with 2 near death experiences, 2 blood transfusions, and 1 seizure by the age of 8 months, 1 lumbar puncture, diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, 1 high-jacking and 1 bullet by the age of 24, I realised that what I truly came to learn in this world could not be found in any academic institution. That true education, is the innate knowledge that we are all born with, that is to be remembered and that this gift, is exactly what is to be shared with the world. It could only be found within me. And that my ‘job’ was simply to remember Who I Am. And this is where the journey began into understanding the workings of the human mind and consciousness, as tools to liberation. As an inspirational speaker and transformational coach, I aim to encourage audiences to have a closer relationship with themselves and the outside world by connecting to their inner wisdom.
