Hilda Baci’s quest to break the world record of cooking for more than 88 hours is a story of resilience, determination, and perseverance. Her unwavering commitment to this feat has not only inspired me but also taught me valuable lessons on how to develop resilience in the face of life’s challenges.


One of the first lessons that I learned from Hilda’s story is that resilience requires a clear goal and a well-defined plan. Hilda’s goal was clear – to break the world record for cooking for more than 88 hours. To achieve this goal, she developed a well-defined plan, which involved working with a team of professionals, meticulously planning her menu, and preparing herself both physically and mentally.

Another essential lesson that I learned from Hilda’s story is that resilience requires mental toughness and the ability to overcome setbacks. During her 88-hour cooking marathon, Hilda faced multiple challenges, including fatigue, stress, and physical strain. However, she continued to persevere, drawing on her inner strength and determination to overcome these obstacles.

Hilda’s story also taught me that resilience is not just about overcoming challenges but also about taking care of oneself. During her marathon cooking session, Hilda took regular breaks, stayed hydrated, and rested when necessary. These self-care practices not only helped her maintain her physical and mental health but also enabled her to stay focused on her goal.

Finally, Hilda’s story showed me that resilience is built on the foundation of support and collaboration. Hilda worked with a team of professionals, including a nutritionist, a physical therapist, and a sleep expert, to prepare for her cooking marathon. She also had the support of her family, friends, and community, who cheered her on throughout the process. This support system not only provided Hilda with the necessary resources and encouragement to achieve her goal but also helped her build resilience.

In conclusion, Hilda Baci’s quest to break the world record for cooking for more than 88 hours taught me valuable lessons about resilience. Her story demonstrated that resilience requires a clear goal and a well-defined plan, mental toughness and the ability to overcome setbacks, self-care practices, and the support and collaboration of others. These lessons are not only valuable in the pursuit of extraordinary feats but also in our everyday lives

We are proud of this feat!  And to you... Your dreams are valid and attainable.

What is your body count?

That was the question I was asked today...The evening was going quite well for me until it went from "This has gotta be the best night ever" to "Oh no he didn't!". My facial expression changed in that instant from a smile to outrage: it became glaring that this question was off-limits. I moved around uneasily in my seat; I began thinking about how best to address the situation without coming off as the 'Crazy b***h!'  Peter was a good friend, and oftentimes we would discuss random topics of interest and argue endlessly- they were resolved amicably each time but this one wasn't one of those.  I honestly don't know how we went from discussing random things to, "So, do you mind sharing how many people you have had sexual encounters with?" I was in shock for a few seconds, If I had been drinking at the time I would have choked on it and spat it out in shock! Why was this piece of information important, why would anyone want to know the numb

Let’s talk about grown-up stuff: Let’s talk S.E.X

It was 9: 45 pm and I was getting really bored watching the news, so I figured it was time to go to bed as I had an early start the next day,  I got into bed and decided to browse the internet for a bit. Social media is such an interesting place; I mean, you think you will be there for 10 mins and boom! It’s 2 am! That was exactly what happened to me. I was just about to force myself to sleep, then the phone rang,  it was my friend Bunmi “ Hello, Zee...are you awake?”  she asked  “ Yes, I am” I responded as I rolled my eyeballs; who did she think was speaking to, a robot? “I’m glad you are awake” she continued “ I am depressed”. That got me. I was now worried. It was past 2 am and I figured it must be something urgent. "Are you alright, is everything okay?” I asked hurriedly. “ Yes, well No” she continued “ It's just that I am getting really frustrated in this relationship” she added. She went back and forth about how she loved her man and how wonderful he was but she d

Hello, My Name is Doctor, Chief, Evangelist, Prince, Prophet John Doe

I got a WhatsApp message today......and it was not the usual. The recipient who was somewhat a client thought it was appropriate that everyone in the group chat knew he was not ordinary and so he made sure it sank in! “My name Doctor, Umezulora 1, Evangelist, Apostle......” This was how he would end every message. It may look like a joke to some of you but unfortunately it was something we all had to put up with. I had met this client a few days back and he seemed like an intelligent/warm individual but, what I could not understand was why he had to introduce himself using all his titles. It was funny at first, but I became worried afterwards. I didn’t know whether to laugh, cry or pull my hair out in frustration. I looked around the room to see if anyone rolled their eyes every time he did that but it seemed the rest of the team were fine with it......so I thought. The  meeting ended in high notes, I gave a quick excuse as to why I had to leave early so I didn’t have to hear h
