Temiola spoke as a co-host in a CH room for the first time!
So proud of you, Temi! Going outside of your comfort zone and pushing despite the nerves is how we all grow ❤️
This is my first time speaking in a CH room as a co-host and I was so nervous beforehand but it’s actually not too scary! This is a big step for me as an introvert 😂 https://t.co/3Wg75Ak5nt — Temilola. (@TemiOlukoko) December 22, 2020
