Queen Ashley, the fourth wife of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has spoken about her strength.
The Ife Queen, while marking the new month, said she understands her role as a queen now because she was born and raised a princess, prepared by yesterday’s lessons to wear today’s crown with purpose, power, and peace.
Queen Ashley said her strength is a legacy that she has won, lived through, and blossomed with every step she takes toward becoming who she was always destined to be.
The mother of two added that she embodies both grace and fire, intuition and intellect, resilience wrapped in elegance. When she steps into her purpose, she doesn’t just evolve; she reigns.
“I understand my role as a queen now because I was born and raised a princess, prepared by yesterday’s lessons to wear today’s crown with purpose, power, and peace.
My strength is a legacy that is passed down, lived through, and blossoms with every step I take toward becoming who I was always meant to be. I am both grace and fire, intuition and intellect, resilience wrapped in elegance. When I step into my purpose, I don’t just evolve, I reign.
Happy New Month Folks”.
