Keturah is not one to give up. She does not take no for an answer, she sees nos as a not right now. In spite of the failure of her first company, Qeturah, a social enterprise that helped promote Nigerian brands and businesses online, offline and through partnerships, she bounced back, unfazed because she knew it was time to shut down. At some point, her love for art led her to create Usanii, an online resource that helped art lovers to discover, collect and learn about African artists and their artworks. Although it is no longer operational, it didn’t waterdown her passion as a collector and curator. She currently serves as a board member of Patrons, where she advises individuals and corporations to leverage art as a way to diversify investment portfolios. It is interesting to note that Keturah holds kindness as one of her core values.

As she often says, 'In a world where you can be anything, be kind.'
