#IAmSuperWoman... Lyra Aoko.

We first came to know of Lyra Aoko as the winner of Samsung Ziki Stars in 2011. She did a couple of songs and I remember giving her interviews on my radio show. (Radio Love remains my fav by the way) Then, nothing. She went quiet on the airwaves and I went searching for her on Instagram. Alas! She was now doing... PHOTOGRAPHY? I was confused. This girl had/has an amazing singing voice! What was she doing taking pictures here? (Good pictures I might add.) Then I reached out for her #IAmSuperWoman story and now it all makes sense.

What did she DECIDE to do!? It's the #IAmSuperWoman story of the sweet and warm hearted Lyra Aoko @lyraoko. Learn more about how she had to break that mould in our #YouGoGirl #MRX series on my website(Link in bio!) I must confess, even I have been schooled! Haha! You are super woman Lyra.
