Tabitha Ngozi is a dynamic voice for youth empowerment, women’s advancement, and human rights. As the Founder of Goal Quest Academy, she is leading an ambitious initiative to train 5,000 youth across her communities in digital entrepreneurship and AI skills. A recipient of the Global Peace Award of Recognition on International Peace Day, Tabitha has also mentored entrepreneurs through the Tony Elumelu Foundation and serves as an ambassador for California State University Fulton and the Equal Trade Women Alliance Netherlands. Her journey is one of resilience—embracing broken moments, transforming pain into strength, and reminding us that imperfections carry their own beauty.
Her Wabi Sabi Story:
Like kintsugi, Tabitha’s life carries golden repairs. She recalls nearly losing her life after childbirth due to high blood pressure and shock—an experience that deepened her gratitude and strength. Later, when she lost a contract she thought would change her future, she refused to let the setback break her. Instead, she rose with resilience and courage, using her voice louder than before.
Her Thoughts on SelfLove
For Tabitha, self-love is not an abstract ideal—it’s a lived practice woven into her daily life.
Each morning, she begins by looking in the mirror and reminding herself: “There is nobody like Tabitha.” Even on imperfect days, she claims her worth.
She honors herself by saying no to people or situations that drain her, even when it’s difficult.
She chooses rest without guilt, giving her body and mind permission to breathe, nap, or simply be still.
She celebrates small wins—whether it’s completing a task, cooking a meal, or simply making it through a tough day.
Self-love also means refusing to compare her body, her skin, or her journey to anyone else’s. It’s about speaking kindly to herself in moments of mistakes, instead of tearing herself down. And it’s about embracing joy—through laughter, dancing, or even being playful—because, for her, happiness is not a privilege but a right.
For Tabitha, this is the real side of self-love: not always glamorous, not always easy, but a steady, intentional practice of choosing herself every single day.
Her Proudest Moments
One of Tabitha’s proudest achievements was completing her professional course in project management. For almost a year, she balanced motherhood, mentoring, and personal work while studying. Crossing that finish line became proof of her strength and discipline.
Launching the 5000 Goal Quest Academy Youth Empowerment Initiative was another defining milestone. It transformed her long-held dream of training youth in digital entrepreneurship and AI into reality. Today, it empowers thousands and fuels a movement of change.
On September 21st, 2025—International Peace Day—Tabitha received the Global Peace Award of Recognition from TMS-UN India. That moment affirmed that her local efforts carry global meaning. It reminded her that purpose, when lived boldly, can inspire the world.
Being part of Wabi Sabi Stories, she says, is about amplifying voices of change. It’s a reminder that loving yourself is enough and that no woman walks her imperfect journey alone. “Stories are evidence of power, and Wabi Sabi reminds us that our voices are our power.” – Tabitha Ngozi
Her Biggest Cheerleader
Tabitha credits her family as her strongest support system, grounding her purpose and fueling her drive to impact the world.
Her Message
Your voice is your weapon. You are enough, unique, bold, and beautiful. Believe in yourself, kill the doubt, love yourself, and let your light shine."
