In a recent interview with Guardian Life Magazine, Tiwa Savage talks about her goals, inspirations and aspirations.<\/p>\n
Excerpts from the interview below.<\/p>\n
On moving back home and setting the pace:<\/strong>\u00a0At that time there weren\u2019t many other female artists in a similar musical lane as me. There were a lot of restrictions and it seemed that people were not ready for a female act who was very comfortable in her own skin to be making music in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
On her ultimate goal as an artist:<\/strong>\u00a0Ultimately my goal as an artist is to show young women, particularly young African women, that with hard work and belief in yourself, there is nothing you cannot achieve. I want to leave a legacy that proves that. I want young women to proudly say \u201cIf Tiwa could achieve that, so can I.<\/p>\n
On women she\u2019s inspired to be like:<\/strong>\u00a0There are so many queens doing amazing things in the world right now\u2026They (Oprah, Ava Duvernay, Shonda Rhimes) have shattered the glass ceiling for black women in film and TV\u2026She (Bozoma \u2018Boz\u2019 Saint ) was one of the top executives at Apple Music and was recently made the Chief Brand Officer at Uber in the U.S.<\/p>\n
She is one of the perfect examples of strong women who show that hard work pays, and the fact that she is an African-born woman is even more inspiring to me. She\u2019s a respected boss, a businesswoman and manages to look fabulous whilst juggling it all.<\/p>\n
On how she has remained positive throughout her career:<\/strong>\u00a0My mother has always told me that, in this life, God only gives you what you can handle. It was a very trying time but God in His infinite mercies gave me the grace to see it through. It only made me stronger.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Tiwa’s strength is certainly one to take her places and it is no question that she is going to keep dishing us top notch music for a long time.<\/p>\n
