Hi, I’m Abiola Jinadu-Matthew — a storyteller, media strategist, and faith-led creative passionate about helping people live, build, and believe with intention.

I’ve spent the last few years working at the intersection of faith, media, business, and community, telling stories that are honest, human, and anchored in purpose. From leading communications and PR for brands and visionaries, to producing digital content, documentaries, and platforms, my work has always revolved around one thing: using storytelling to illuminate truth and inspire growth.

This blog is a personal extension of that journey.

Here, I write about faith in everyday life, navigating calling and career, obedience over optics, building purpose-driven platforms, marriage, leadership, creativity, and the quiet inner work God often does before the public outcomes appear. Some posts are reflective, some practical, some deeply personal — all rooted in a desire to live authentically before God and people.

I believe growth doesn’t always look loud. Sometimes it looks like stillness. Sometimes it looks like rebuilding. Sometimes it looks like choosing alignment over applause.

Whether you’re here to be encouraged, challenged, reminded, or simply to feel less alone in your process — you’re welcome here. My prayer is that through these words, you find clarity, courage, and comfort for your own journey.

Thank you for being here. 🤍
