“You see me posting food, market runs and different things here, but you probably don't really know the woman behind these businesses.
So today, I decided to introduce myself properly.
My name is Bolanle, and I'm a caterer, a food lover, a businesswoman… and, apparently, I'm now a professional yapper!” 😂
I've actually been in the catering business for about 25 years.
Here's the interesting part…
I didn't start my working life as a caterer. I actually worked in banking before I eventually found my way into the food business.
Honestly, that journey has taught me so much—not just about cooking and food, but about people, customer service, business, perseverance and starting again when life takes you in a completely different direction.
Somewhere along the way, I realised something else…
A lot of busy people don't necessarily need more money—they need more TIME.
That's one of the reasons I also started Lagos Market Runs: to help people who are busy, tired or simply don't have the time to go to the market themselves.
So that's a little bit about me.
I'm going to be sharing food tips, market stories, business lessons, funny experiences, and just generally… yapping! 😂
Since this is Day 1 of my 30-Day Yap Challenge, I want to get to know you too. Bikonu🙏
Tell me in the comments: who are you, where are you watching me from, and what would you like me to yap about?
Let's get to know each other.
I'll see you tomorrow!
