In this conversation, your business Mom (Anna Bullock) is joined by “Tami from Buffer” (Tamilore Oladipo). They document her journey from pandemic layoffs and grad school deferment to a rising star content writer at Buffer—a prominent social media marketing platform—and budding influencer. Join the pair through a deep dive on how family, Nigerian culture, and her own loves and passions have guided Tami through successful pivots in her work life. The topics are wide and dynamic, including internships for the youth, the value of self-reflection, the rise of brand partnerships, and the state of the education system. Overall, they leave agreeing that one must be in tune with oneself in order to succeed in work or life and that responsibility is at the core of this feat.
