Meet Oyin Bernard

Oyin Bernard is the founder of Ewami Essentials – A Skin and Hair brand based in Nigeria. We are such huge fans of her products because of how effective and diverse they are that we couldn’t help but feature her. Humble, Driven and PAssionate about what she does, Otin Bernard is definitely a Queen we stand all day, everyday!

Her: Why do you do what you do for a living? 

Oyin: The best part of being an entrepreneur is contributing something larger than yourself. Being an entrepreneur is awesome for a lot of reasons, but I think the most important and overlooked reason is that it forces a person to develop parts of their personality that make them a better person, I love that I’m able to restore people’s confidence about their skin and the advantage of it making money while at it.

Her: What would you say is your secret to happiness?

Oyin: I’ll say GRATITUDE and the ability to remain content regardless of my current situation. I mean how could you possibly find happiness when you relentlessly want more and never properly appreciate what you have?

Her: If you had the opportunity to do something different from what you’re currently doing, what would you do?

Oyin:  I wanted to be a software engineer because it’s a chance to help other people through the power of technology. But I quite like that I’m making products that help people feel and look better with Ewami. 

Her: What would you say is the best advice you have been given and by whom?

Oyin: Done Is Better Than Perfect. By Koku Bernard (my husband).

Her: What motivates you to get up in the morning?

Oyin: I give whatever I do my all, so I like knowing I’m appreciated, knowing what I do is producing results that matter to people everywhere, makes my heart flutter.
