”I’m humbled to be decorated this afternoon by Escae Benin University with Honorary Doctorate in recognition as a ‘pioneer in the business of dance in Africa’.

This award is not just for me but for an institution. That institution is the dance industry.

I dedicate this award to every Dancer, Make-Up artiste, Barber, Cobler, Generator boy, painter,tailor , plumber, graphics artiste,cameramen, journalist ,and everyone that can dare to dream.

This moment right here brought tears to my eyes as I reflected and had my life do a major replay of all the struggles ,pain a,and negative perceptions I have had to overcome to see this day .
As a child, I, looked through the GuGuinnessook of world records and 18 years later I broke a GuGuinnessorld record

As a teenager I, pictured my face on billboards and on and I saw it happen, I lived it .
I watch Movies and motivational speeches done in the honorary gown of a doctorate honor and here I am honored with the least likely career choice .
I have heard so many doubts that through dance I can amount to nothing not to talk of being celebrated or honored on this level InIn fact many levels.

I am here surrounded by Academics honoring me not for a certificate but for the application of every ounce of knowledge I have acquired in life both in school and on the stREAM BELIEVE DARE DO
