Took these beautiful photos during our ziyarat to mount Uhud.
The battle of Uhud is very significant in Islam as there were several lessons from it. Many of the companions were buried here. The prophet loved this mount so much, and it is known as a Mount of Jannah.

Having worked with over 200 grad students as an advisor, I can say a few…🧵
1. It all starts with the resume. Your resume cannot be looking like this and you're expecting to move to the next stage, haba!
2. The generic resumes. What makes you stand out?
For those in HR, what makes you instantly reject a candidate? What was the painful reason a job you applied for didn't give you the job?
Twitter NG, let's do this👇
I feel so proud of you, Iyiola.
Congratulations dear 🎉🎉🎉
It seemed like yesterday when it all started, the good, the bad, the ugly, the ups and downs. I’m super proud of your growth and how far you’ve come.
You’re a proof that… dreams do not need to just be dreams.
