We had the good fortune of connecting with Kemi Adesoye and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kemi, what’s the most important thing you’ve done for your children?
Kindness- I try to model kindness and empathy when relating with my kids.I am big on showing kindness to people but I extend that to my kids as well.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I make video contents on YouTube and Instagram. My focuses are on making motivational videos, lifestyle, beauty and vlog contents. I am currently a federal employee and work as a healthcare Specialist. I have an MBA in Healthcare Administration.

Getting a job wasn’t a bliss, coupled with birthing twins and COVID cases in 2020 (I finished Masters in late 2019). On job search journey, at first, I was applying for jobs in different companies, even though I really wanted a federal job. I later started focusing on federal jobs alone but was met with disappointment along the way. It was either I’m qualified for a position and I don’t get called for interviews or I don’t move to the next level. I had minimal experience in the healthcare field since my background was in business before MBA in Healthcare. After a while, Applying for jobs got discouraging, I stopped applying.
I recently moved to Germany with my family and as soon as we moved, I started applying for federal jobs. I was kind of motivated and positive that things would work turn out differently. I was surprised to be called for several job interviews and three job offers.
At times just changing location changes everything. Also, speaking positivity is essential. Even though I didn’t know how I will get a federal job, I said it severally with my mouth and I am glad I got in.. I am not where I want to be yet but this is a big next step to me and I believe it will Fashion me to where I am working towards.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Since I am currently in Europe, I would mostly do a short road trip and train rides with my friend. We would first visit Colmar, France. I had such a great experience in Colmar and the view is beautiful. We would also visit Netherlands. Precisely, The Pier SkyView in Amsterdam and Gravensteen castle in Ghent, Belgium. The castle in Ghent is the most fascinating I have seen thus far. And of course a train ride to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower. A taste of pastries from one of the famous bakery shop in Germany barbarossa bäckerei, would also be on top of my list. Will also visit a nice restaurant to enjoy a doner kebab wrap.
