  • Olamide Olowe is the CEO of Topicals, a skincare company transforming the way people feel about their skin through effective products and mental health advocacy. She is the youngest Black woman to raise $10M in venture funding, having raised $14.8M before the age of 26. However, what truly stands out is her unwavering and audacious faith in God. In this episode, Buku, Host and Founder of GIMCD, sits down with Olamide to discuss the way God has been directing her path even before the launch of Topicals and how He continues to be the best business partner.

    It's so refreshing to hear entrepreneurs and, more specifically, successful Black Female Founders profess Christ and declare His works in their lives. A true witness. Olamide, you are an inspired leader and a valued woman of valour. We are in awe of you stewarding your gifts, honouring your call, and living bodly for God. Continued blessings, favour, and prosperity 🙏🏽 ❤

    The fact that this channel even was recommended to me the day you released your first episode is God’s power and hand moving in my life and I pray in others as well. Not sure what it means for my life but I can say there is a reason why I was lead here and i know God will reveal it in his own time. I ask you Lord that you send down a rain shower of blessings on this show as well as all involved and all who watch and lead more people to be apart of the conversation. I ask that you keep Buku and all involved in your protection and allow her to continue to walk in your glory. In your wonderful holy holy holy name. AMEN!

"God don't give it to me too early because I may lose it." SO GOOD!!!! That prayer takes faithfulness, patience, and trust in the Lord. Like WOW! Olamide has such a beautiful story. BUKU!!!

    Such a beautiful Interview with salient points. Look at the subtle references to their parents being in the faith. Divine orchestration on meeting destiny helpers. Continuous leaning into the wisdom of God. Tithing even in the little. Over 100 pitching to founders, but one just chose to say yes. Good character, many scriptural references from the anchor aswell! So inspired to do more. Thank you for sharing.

    I love how she went somewhere and like it worked out and sometimes I feel like because I stayed in one place like a state or an area or industry. I feel like I’m missing out what God is telling me or getting there faster to what God is telling me and I know he will always get me there and I think what I need to do is learn how to actually just pray and tell him what do you actually want me to do to get where you want me to be because sometimes I get lost, I can confused. I wanna do so many things, but I don’t want to be a blockage to what God wants me to do.

It's really difficult to make someone understand these things if they haven't experienced it before and they aren't operating in same wavelength. Thank you Buku and Olamide. Much love from Lagos.
