SERBIA'S VOICE

My name is Princess Serbia Wilson. I am a student, entrepreneur, fashion/lifestyle influencer, event planner, and many more. I have always been independent since I was 14. I faced a lot of challenges with people understanding me and all of that. I remember vividly in secondary school, I had an issue with some people concerning a boy—it was funny, but I went through a lot. Growing up, I started my first clothing line (Wilseb Ventures) in SS1 and registered it when I was in SS3. Some people discouraged me, telling me I was unserious, but I never repeated a class or had any carryover in ABUAD. I knew where I came from, and I disciplined myself so well. I was conscious of my future. I knew where I was going.

I got scammed last year of 128k for my second clothing line (Savage Brand), which changed to (Savage by Serbia) because I said to myself I can't give up so easily after being scammed. So I started making kimonos, and I succeeded even if it took me a lot. I starved to survive. It was so hard. Then I started the kimonos with the remaining 20k left with me, and I got about 50k. I was so grateful, so I continued till I finally stopped after I left Afe Babalola University.

Getting into UNILAG diploma, it was so hard to cope with the caliber of people. But I scaled through. I was also working as an intern but was sacked, LOL, because I didn't go to work on a Friday for my JAMB. I really don't think some people deserve me. The truth about it all is, I left the internship. I faced my own business, which was the Thrift House by SEW. LOL, the meaning of SEW is Serbia ENE Wilson. I am making waves. Someone created an account for me on IG calling me fake Yaba girl. I was so happy because it strengthened me for more achievements.

I am actually a very difficult person to understand. I love that because it makes me stronger and hard for enemies to get me down. I really don't care about people, but I care about their independence. The funniest part is when my haters buzz me to help them, and I gladly do it, and they stay famzing, but I always make it clear to their face. Life is not like that. Anything that goes around comes around. Imagine if I had closed my Thrift House by SEW; I won't have any money to do my Fiesta, which is on a high budget, and I don't have sponsors. I really thank myself for the courage to push harder.
