Briefly tell us about you.
My name is Amajuoyi Chika Blessing. I am a graduate with a NCE in Biology/Chemistry and a B.Ed in Chemistry. I also trained at New Horizon as a UI/UX Designer. I am a Christian content creator who uses AI to create inspiring stories and educational cartoons for children. In addition, I teach and speak on relationships, with a special focus on guiding singles to understand and follow God’s will in marriage.

 

What can you say, purpose is. And from your purpose, can you say, you’re fulfilling purpose?
Purpose, to me, means living according to God’s plan for my life and using the gifts He has given me to bless others. Yes, I believe I am walking in my purpose. Through teaching, creating Christian content, using AI for storytelling and education, and guiding singles to understand God’s will for marriage, I see my gifts being used meaningfully. While I know purpose is a journey and I am still growing.

 

What’s the motivation behind all that you do?
First, my love for the things of God is my greatest motivation. I have a deep passion for serving Him and making His truth known. Secondly, I love teaching and impacting lives—bringing out what God has deposited in me, sharing my experiences, and helping others grow. Lastly, in the area of technology, I am naturally drawn to research, creativity, and innovation. I love designing beautiful things and using tech as a tool to inspire, educate, and transform lives.

 

How do you handle life’s challenges thrown at you?
Motherhood was one of my greatest challenges. As a young lady with many visions, skills, and strong focus, I must admit that I did not prepare for motherhood. When it came, it paused my career for a long time. During that season, I was doing things, but they were not productive. I applied for several jobs, but none worked out. One day, I made a conscious decision to change. I realized I needed to manage my time, my data, and the skills I had acquired more wisely. During motherhood, I noticed I spent four to six hours scrolling on Facebook daily. That realization pushed me to apply discipline. By becoming intentional with my time and skills, I slowly found my balance again and began to grow, create, and move forward despite the challenges of motherhood.

 

How can one move from shadow to spotlight?
Moving from the shadow to the spotlight starts with self discovery and decision. You must first recognize the gifts, skills, and purpose God has placed inside you, then make a firm decision to no longer hide them. It requires discipline and consistency,using your time wisely, learning daily, and showing up even when no one is watching. Growth happens in private before it is celebrated in public. You also move forward by taking responsibility, letting go of excuses, fear, and comparison, and being willing to start small. Obedience to God, courage to take steps, and faith to remain patient are key. Finally, the spotlight comes naturally when your life begins to add value to others.

 

What skills would you advice young people to learn?
The skill you should learn depends on your level and situation in life. For students preparing to enter school, especially those who may not always have money for data or online learning, I strongly recommend physical and practical skills. Skills such as baking, fashion designing, production of liquid soap, air freshener, bleach, perfume, and antiseptics can help you earn income and sustain yourself during school. I speak from experience, these were the skills I used to support myself during my school days. For graduates and working individuals, I recommend online and tech-based skills. Skills like graphic design, UI/UX design (web design), AI-related skills, software engineering, cybersecurity, and digital marketing are highly valuable. They offer flexibility, global opportunities, and long term growth. Learning a skill empowers you, builds confidence, and reduces dependence. No matter your stage in life, having a skill is a strong foundation for financial stability and personal growth.

 

Leave advice for our readers.
That vision you have written down, start now. Begin to work toward it with intention and focus. This is the year to drop excuses and take responsibility for your growth. Do not allow anyone to dim your light or make you shrink. Most importantly, to my single ladies: learn a skill before entering marriage. A skill builds confidence, independence, and wisdom, and it positions you to contribute meaningfully in every season of life. Start where you are, use what you have, and stay consistent. Your future is watching you.
