3 Master's degrees. A PhD. A UN career. 4 children. And I still had to start over.
I grew up in Cameroon. Earned two Master's degrees before I turned 25 and became a diplomat for my country. Cameroon chose me to represent the nation at the United Nations in America.
I sat in rooms with presidents, first ladies, and UN Secretary-Generals. I negotiated deals with diplomatic officials from nations around the world. I wrote policies at the United Nations for the African Union. These are rooms most people only see in movies. I was in them, representing an entire country.
From the outside, my life looked perfect. But I went home every night knowing something was deeply missing. So I did what I always do. I bet on myself again. Full scholarship. Third Master's degree. Still not it. Started a fourth program. First year in, I switched to the PhD.
I sat in PhD lectures with my daughter. My professors held her so I could present. I taught myself cloud computing while pregnant with my second child. We call her the Cloud Baby. I graduated with my PhD six weeks after having my third child.
I almost quit. More times than I've admitted. But I chose to keep going. Not because it was easy, but because I had come too far to let the hardest chapter be the last one.
"I'm not telling you this so you think I'm exceptional. I'm telling you this because I almost stopped. So many times. And nobody knew."

"I'm not telling you this so you think I'm exceptional. I'm telling you this because I almost stopped. So many times. And nobody knew."
After everything: 3 Master's degrees, a PhD, a UN career, a tech career, two companies, Harvard Law, a Fulbright, and four children, I am just getting started.
If you ever felt like you were too much. Too ambitious. Too late. Too tired. This space is for you. I built this for us.
I built GovernIntel because 73% of AI deployments have zero governance and someone needed to fix that. I built VoyceAI because busy people deserve AI that actually saves them time. I show up on this page every day because the women and professionals coming behind me deserve someone who tells the truth about what it actually takes.
AI governance, leadership, and the real story behind the work.
I spent three months using Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini Advanced for real professional writing. Here is what I actually found — and why picking just one tool may be the wrong strategy.
