IN SHORT

It may have taken Bolanle Austen-Peters a few career changes to find her place, but she never gave up, never settled in her search for happiness. Now she’s her own boss, following her passion for people, culture, and Nigeria. Her business Terra Kulture is ten years old and going strong. “I’ve reached a place in my life where I don’t let problems bother me anymore. Once I can safely rule out that something is not going to kill me – generally a worst-case scenario – then I can handle anything with a much more positive attitude, knowing that with time everything moves.”
