STORY TIME… This dance reminded me of something, and it further buttresses the fact that when there is life, there is hope. When you lose something, it’s okay to feel bad. It’s okay to feel disappointed. But never let the loss convince you that it’s over. As long as you’re breathing, as long as you’re alive, there is always a possibility of getting it back — sometimes, in multiple folds. I remember when Fisayo and I made this video while shooting ÌKÚNLÈ 1. Shortly after, at the AMVCA, my two phones were stolen. And trust me, that hurt. We had created so much content for ÌKÚNLÈ. I had some drafts on Instagram and several others on TikTok. Once you lose your phone or log out of your apps , your drafted contents are gone , so, everything was gone. But this particular video stayed in my memory. I remembered the sound. I remembered exactly how I directed it — Fisayo running down the stairs while I walked down. The only difference now is the outfits and the energy. 😂 I honestly can’t even tell who had more energy then. So when we came back to shoot additional scenes for the sequel, I told Fisayo: “We are doing this video again.” The world never got to see the first one, but here we are. We were given another opportunity to recreate a moment we thought was lost forever. And for me, that is the real message. Some things may be lost, but as long as you are alive, the story is not over. Today, I’m simply thanking God for life, for grace, for second chances, and for the opportunity to recreate what I thought was gone. When there is life, there is hope. ❤️ ÌKÚNLÈ 2 will be showing on Jide Awobona TV. 30th October — TikTok @jideawobona
