A R T 🍂

Hi Twitter. Akin Faminu here.
I’m a Doctor and a Fashion Content Creator. Worlds Apart? Yes! But one thing my journey has taught me is that your drive is enough to define what is possible.

Decided to share my story and I hope someone is inspired!

A THREAD (Pls RT)
Growing up, I had always been the ‘Multi Tasker’ .. You know, Good Grades, but would still participate in all the Social activities. Used to dance a lot in Secondary School, That’s Funny now 😂

I always wanted to be a doctor, but I also loved Art .. Painting, Drawing, Name it!
I refused to drop Visual Arts as a subject even when I was in Science class, that meant that I was offering one more subject than all my peers, but I didn’t mind

Such was the kind of passion I had for both sides of the coin!
That worked fine and I loved it!

But then, I was about to get into Medical School and being a ‘Local Champion’ in Secondary school didn’t count for much at that point.

This was a very different ball game, What do I do? How do I eat my cake and have it? Do I let one go?
That was the defining moment!

I made a promise to myself to do the ‘impossible’. There was no way I was letting either of them go.

I decided to channel my passion for Art into the most practical thing, and for me, that was fashion.

On that day, The Akin Faminu brand was born
A couple of years, sacrifices and positives later, the decision I made that day encompasses who I am today.

I finished well from school, and my brand has been growing ever since.

None of these would have been possible if I wasn’t brave enough.
There’s only as much as I can write in a thread 😅 .. But the point of doing this is to let anyone who needs to hear this know that ‘You can do whatever you set your mind to’ and this is not just a quote!

Don’t let up, Keep pushing. Have a plan, then Execute TF out of it
