We’re often taught that the path is simple: go to school, get good grades, graduate, and figure out the rest along the way.But what happens when you actually graduate and realise that the world waiting for you doesn’t quite work the way you were prepared for? In this episode, we sit down with Jessica Ohaka to talk about her journey from getting involved in NGO work at just 16 to building R-WEF—and the experiences that made her realise there were bigger problems worth solving.We talk about the realities behind building something from the ground up: the exciting moments, the pressure, the difficult days, and what it meant to see the first cohort of R-WEF through to graduation.But beyond Jessica’s story, this conversation opens up a much bigger discussion about young Nigerians and the transition from education into adulthood.Are the systems we’ve been taught to follow still serving us? What happens when the traditional definitions of success no longer reflect the realities young people are facing? And what do we actually need to thrive after the classroomFrom purpose and pressure to outdated systems and the realities of becoming an adult in Nigeria, this episode is a conversation about what happens after the grades stop counting.Because education may prepare you to pass the test.But life asks a very different set of questionsThere’s is a whole world of growth that happens beyond the grades..
