Accelerating Visions & Visionaries
The Birth of Cohedom: A Journey of Obedience and Vision.
"I have always had a deep sensitivity to vision—both in the dreams of others and the strategies required to bring them to life. But for a long time, I didn't fully understand the weight of this gift or how God was calling me to use it.”
Between 2017 and 2020, I founded Tales of My Youth, a young adults’ platform dedicated to holistic development. During the pandemic, the platform took a deep dive into the prophetic, and I found myself helping people articulate the visions and ideas the Holy Spirit had placed within them. I could pull clarity out of confusion, giving structure to the divine whispers they had been struggling to grasp. But I quickly realized—ideas and visions are nothing without strategy and structure. And this was what I needed to learn. I was initially set to study Development Studies at Cambridge University in 2020, but God rerouted me to Paris, where I pursued a master’s in Development Communications from 2021 to 2023. I took courses in branding, marketing, and business—learning the language and structure behind what I had already been doing. It was in Paris that the name Cohedom first came to me, though its full meaning had yet to be revealed.
In 2022, I was scouted by a Strategic Communications Agency in Paris, where I worked with a Christian client who wanted to create a brand around affirmation prayer cards. Unlike others on the team, I was able to fully understand her vision because I spoke both the language of faith and strategy, of the spiritual and the secular. What started as a small product idea evolved into a full-scale platform—an app tackling the barriers that hinder people from prayer. Through this experience, God showed me something profound: the Daniel anointing—the spirit of excellence—transforms visions into wealth-generating strategies, businesses, and solutions. And this was what He was calling me to do.
Matthew 9:37-38
“Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into His harvest.”
Shortly after, He asked me to leave the agency. With no job, no income, just the whisper of the Holy Spirit, I spent another year in Paris learning to recognize His voice, sharpening my discernment, and gaining firsthand insight into the struggles of creatives and strategists—especially those of African descent—who lacked the opportunities to execute their gifts with excellence. It was during this season that Cohedom’s collaborative model was born. I realized that there were two groups of people God was calling me to serve:
The Global Visionaries with God-given ideas but no clear path to execution.
The African creatives, both in the diaspora and on the continent, who had talent but lacked access to opportunities and resources.
The connection was clear: Cohedom would be the bridge.
Inspired by Matthew 9:37-38, where Jesus says, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few,” I saw that among people of African descent—whether in Lagos, London, or Paris—there were many labourers seeking opportunities.
And, with my nomadic lifestyle, I was uniquely positioned to be a strategic connector, linking visionaries to the skilled hands needed to birth their assignments.
For a year, I partnered with Oreoluwa Okubajo to test this theory in Lagos, and we saw undeniable success. Now, as Cohedom, we are expanding beyond Nigeria, co-laboring with visionaries across the world, helping them birth God-sized dreams, connecting them to African excellence, and ensuring that their businesses are built prophetically, strategically, and with divine precision. At its core, Cohedom is a testament to my journey with God.
Before He called me to co-labour with others, He first invited me to co-labour with Him.
So come along and let’s co-labour to birth these visions.
