Who is Julie Okundaye?
I am a marketing professional with various work experiences that span across advertising, media and marketing. I am a diehard Shakespeare fan even if the two books I immensely enjoy are: ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ by Oscar Wilde and ‘Jane Eyre’ by Charlotte Bronte. My personal mantra is to be true to myself at all times, and never be false to someone else. It is a Shakespearean quote “ To thine own self be true and it must follow as the night, the day then thou canst not be false to any man.” This has been the principle and it has guided the way that I live my life.
