This episode marks a meaningful shift in our Brick by Brick journey as we explore the foundation of all building: the self. Join us for an intimate conversation with Kunbi, founder of Legally Set, lawyer, and a dedicated mother of two, as she courageously shares her experience growing up in a polygamous Nigerian family.

Kunbi is well known in the Nigerian American community for being the queen of celebrations. Perfête, which she has since sold, was a platform centered around the art of celebrating. She is also known for sharing her IVF journey at a time when people declined to speak openly about it. While previous episodes focused on building businesses and careers, Kunbi reminds us that the most profound construction project is often the construction of ourselves. With remarkable vulnerability, she reveals how childhood coping mechanisms shaped her adult relationships and the deliberate work required to break generational patterns.

Key Insights:
