It’s that time again when we explore the personalities of our amazing IFUMSAites. This week, we get to meet Delight Olawale-Success of the Tenacious class. She is the CEO of Deeda Designs, a clothing brand that merges unique creativity with modesty.
MediVoice: Hello Delight, or rather CEO Deeda😂. Can we meet you?
Delight: Hellooooo I’m Delight Olawale-Success, I won’t claim CEO sha😂. So let’s say I’m the Creative Director of Deeda Designs, a fashion brand. I’m from the tenacious constituency. I love music and the colour purple💜
MediVoice: You founded a brand with a unique vision, was there a propelling factor to your brand?
Delight: Yeah. In the world today, there’s nudity everywhereeee🫠and a lot of people think modesty isn’t beautiful. I then thought of creating a brand around modesty.
MediVoice: A fashion brand that embraces modesty, that’s cool!! How has your medical school journey been so far?
Delight: Well, if I was asked this question in part 2, I’ll probably be here ranting😂. Thankfully, I’m in part 3 and it’s looking “soft”. Y’all looking at me likeeee😂. Okay, it’s not too “soft” but definitely easier than part 2 and with a lot more stuff to read🙂.
MediVoice: Let me just chip in that her definition of soft is the synonym of shege😂. Are you involved in other activities aside from medical school or you’re the delayed gratification type?
Delight: Like I stated earlier, I have a fashion brand. I don’t believe in doing just medicine, that’s boring😂 but it’s definitely not easy to run a brand in this medical school.
MediVoice: I agree, it’s definitely true that medicine is a jealous lover. How do you manage medical school with an active business then?
Delight: Firstly, I have it at the back of my mind that my mates have more time than I do. So, any time I have to read, I read. Also, I mostly do my business activities during the day and use my midnight to read. So I can’t play too much when my mates are playing🫠. Also, God is my help, so I can’t fail😌
MediVoice: What keeps you pushing in life when you want to drop it all and give in?
Delight: Past goodness of God to me🥹. Friends too🫶
MediVoice: Wow… You must have the best kind of friends, mine just send me funny videos and try to bill me😂. Can you point out your most exciting and worst moment in medical school?
Delight: An “exciting” moment in college is probably when a class is cancelled (you’d probably think I’m not serious😂). A not so good moment in college was when we had back to back Incourse in part 2. We had BCH and then histo&embro the next day🥲. Damn, I read on the road that morning of histo&embro😂🤲🏾
MediVoice: I can remember lol… Those shege periods😂. Would you still pick medicine if you had a second chance
Delight: Yes, the stress and struggle is much. But it’s still a yes🙂.
MediVoice: The tenacity🙌. Reminds me of what they say, that medicine is a calling not just a career. What would you say is the greatest gift medical school provided you with?
Delight: Good friendsss🫶
MediVoice: Is there anyone you would like to give a shout out to?
Delight: My class rep, Blessing, Peter, Grace, Promise and my classmates🫶
MediVoice: If you were offered 10million dollars to quit medicine, would you take the offer?
Delight: Looks quite tempting considering the dollar to naira exchange rate😂, but, no thanks. I’d rather enjoy what I’m doing than the money
MediVoice: Some of us would take the money option though (just saying🌝). Which option would you choose to relax, read a book or see a movie?
Delight: Definitely a book, I love reading (non-school books sha😂). Movies get boring to me when it gets too long.
MedVoice: Any last words for our readers?
Delight: You are doing well, just keep on being intentional and the results you have in mind would become a reality✨️✨️
MediVoice: That touch my heart😫. Thank you so much for your time Creative Director Deeda, it was so nice having you!
