Ozohu Adoh, who attained an MBA from University of Oxford, founded Epara skincare after tireless efforts to find a treatment for dry, uneven skin condition she suffered for years. The skincare products address skincare faced by women of colour, with organic ingredients from Africa. Ozuhu Adoh’s lifelong passion for authentic skincare has led to her partnership with a U.K lab to develop formulas that address the skincare issues black women face.
Dear Ozohu,
I know you feel the years ahead feel so far away and I know how you can’t wait to do all the things you have always wanted to do. The years will roll by more quickly than you know it and I say enjoy every moment of every day with its attendant challenges, joys, disappointments and opportunities.
Knowing you, I would say not to feel too knocked back by disappointments and apparent failures. Take them as opportunities to learn - as every lesson from these would be invaluable for your growth as a person you hope to be.
Hold tight to the values you have are been taught, what an amazing source of comfort they will be for you in trying times. When you do fall short, do not wallow in self-pity but pick yourself up and dust yourself off.
Finally, never forget how much you are dearly loved and highly cherished.
Love,
