🎙️Welcome back to another powerful episode of the Purpose Pathway Podcast, Healing, Wholeness and Having a voice.Here we celebrate stories of resilience, leadership, purpose, and transformation. I'm your host, Kemi Emmanuel—author, publishing strategist and empowerment coach—and today’s guest is a remarkable woman whose life embodies triumph, intelligence, and purpose at every turn.

Her name itself tells a story: Fausat, meaning triumph, and Obeng, meaning intelligent. And she has lived up to both.

She is the founder of Obeng Hair Coach, a ground breaking platform offering personalised virtual hair consultations for Black women and customised natural hair products tailored to specific needs. Her mission is beautiful: to empower Black women to love, embrace, and be proud of their natural hair. And her tagline says it all—“Intelligent Haircare.”

But behind this brand is a woman whose journey is nothing short of extraordinary:
—a Law and International Studies graduate
—researcher for Amnesty International
—a survivor of clinical depression, psychosis, suicide attempts
—founder of Urban Fashion Week UK
—advocate for creativity and mental wellbeing
—and a woman who fought for love, waiting 12 years for her husband to return to the UK.

Today, Fausat shares not just a business story but a life story—a story of courage, reinvention, service, and purpose.

So grab your tea, settle in, and let’s dive into this inspiring conversation.

🎧 Podcast Intro (Host – Kemi Emmanuel)

Welcome back to another inspiring episode of The Purpose Pathway Podcast ; where we explore the journeys of ordinary people doing extraordinary things with purpose, passion, and faith.

Today’s guest is someone whose story truly embodies resilience, innovation, and the healing power of purpose.
I’m joined by Christy Samuel, founder of CliqChef — a groundbreaking AI-powered cooking platform that helps people rediscover joy, creativity, and connection through food.

Christy’s story begins in Kerala, India, in a close-knit family full of love and laughter — and takes us all the way to London, where her journey through illness gave birth to a vision that’s now transforming kitchens and lives around the world.

From her time working at one of the Big Four firms to finding herself rebuilding her world after a cancer diagnosis — Christy has shown us that sometimes, life’s hardest seasons birth our most meaningful ideas.
