Thrilled to share an update on my adventures with Soul Mama, THE music venue London didn’t know it needed but now can’t live without! 🌟🎶🎺🎻🥁🥰 Two months ago, I had the absolute pleasure of attending YolanDa Brown OBE DL’s spectacular opening performance at this incredible venue – an evening that set the tone for what Soul Mama is all about: music, magical ambience, and a vibe like no other. Last night, I was back at Soul Mama as a birthday treat for my sister Niina Ezewuzie, this time to see the fabulous Tommy Blaize. Yes, the Tommy Blaize you know and love from UK's Strictly Come Dancing!🕺🏽💃🏻 And let me tell you, he was phenomenal – smooth, soulful, and every bit as captivating as when I first saw him perform with Madeline Bell in 1999! (Fun fact: I’ve had a crush on him ever since, but that’s a whole other post.🙈😉) But Soul Mama is so much more than the music. The cocktails? Next level. Whether you’re sipping something classic or trying one of their signature creations, each one feels like a work of art.🍹🍸 The plantains (yes, plant-AINS, the Nigerian way!)? Crispy, golden perfection – honestly, they deserve their own standing ovation. And the service? Impeccable. From the moment you walk in, the team makes you feel like family.🙏🏼🥰 To top it all off, I had the most heartwarming moment with Adetokunbo T Oyelola, the co-founder of Soul Mama. When I gave this awesome brother my name at the door, he not only recognised it but went on to thank me for supporting them when this wonder was still just a dream. It was one of those magical moments where you realise you’ve just met a great friend you didn’t know you already had!🫂🙏🏼 And then he showed me something that took my breath away – my name on their Founders’ Wall! Thank you to my co-founders!🙏🏼🥰 Now, here’s the thing: even if you’re someone who struggles to let go and trust your team, once you step into Soul Mama, you will let go. And if you find that you can’t, you’ll rush back to the office, re-energised, ready to shape an engaging culture of role clarity, accountability, diversity, and inclusion.🤗 Why? So you can empower your people, reclaim your balance, and dash back to Soul Mama again and again – and actually have a life.🏃🏼♂️🏃🏽♀️ 🎶 Soul Mama is a destination, an experience, and an absolute gift to London. Treat yourself to a night there – and don’t forget to try the plantains! Better still, snap & share a pic when you go, and as a thank you, I’ll send you a signed copy of my book, Let Go Leadership: How Inclusive Leaders Share Power to Drive High Performance. 📚✨ Trust me, once you’ve been, you’ll never stop going back! 🤗🎶🥁🎻🎺🎷🕺🏽💃🏻🥰
