From Rejection to MFA: How I Fought for My Creative Dreams ft. Ona Akinde | Let’s Have Drinks Ep3

Hello beautiful people
Let's Have Drinks where I have conversations with my friends about adulting, life, making decisions and everything in between.
On today episode, we have Ona Akinde. We talked about her building a relationship with her sisters, dealing with studying a course she disliked, finding her path in the literary world and getting a fully funded MFA after so much rejection.
Enjoy

Same answer to the last question for me too - the year I turned 17/the year I left secondary school. I became an ‘adult’ and I had so much sense, I still can’t believe it 😂😂 I also started experiencing God personally that year.
