Gloria Atanmo – Mecca Gamble Photography 2020

Every good parent wants the best for their children. They want their children to have the money, security, and opportunities they never had and Nigerian parents are not in any way different. As a result, they go all out to make sure that their children are successful.

From the way they bring up a child, to the course of study at the university, or who they should marry, Nigerian parents pride themselves in knowing better.

Many years ago, Gloria Atanmo’s parents wanted her to study medicine. According to them, medicine was one of the ‘real’ jobs that can make anyone successful.

So, for three years, she decided to do what her parents wanted but she wasn’t happy doing it. After failing for the first time in her life, she realized that she ought to please herself and God.

“All those years doing nothing but trying to make them happy, what will I be left with when they’re gone?” was the question that made Gloria decide to live the life she wanted.

So, Gloria bought a camera, started a travel blog, and took a semester to study abroad. After working hard for five years, she earns a six-figure income from doing what she loves. With a career in traveling and story-telling, Gloria is inspiring others to chase their dreams.

Gloria who is also a graduate of graphic design and mass media thinks that one’s happiness is worth pursuing.
