Grace is a motivated, forward thinking and fantastic personality to share idea and work with. Our first meeting was on an initiation of a digital marketing strategic plan for SMEs in Lagos with the head of Euidem group. Her hands-on-approach to work, strategy, exceptional thinking and business insight won her to be leading an online media platform that features original content on news, and insight about Nigerian SMEs. I find her enthusiasm and dedication both inspiring and worthy of emulation.

I started my writing career as an intern with Grace and today I am a content development lead in my organisation. You can't work with Grace and not feel the need to get to a near perfect state. In this case, the art of effective communication through writing. Her writing skill is top-notch, her editing skill rivals that of traditional print publishers and possesses a leadership feature that commands loyalty. I would recommend Grace over and over again.
