Dr Amaka Akinteye is a finance professional, chartered accountant, perpetual learner, problem-solver, idea generator, vision caster, and ambassador of Jesus Christ.
I can produce an endless list of myself, although it is quite difficult to cast my personality in one scene, I will try. I am fun-loving, energetic, playful, choleric, more so my friends call me “The enjoyment minister”, although I am yet to be inaugurated.
I desire adventures, so imagine me doing the great things, this makes me dream of sky diving, mountain climbing, and road trips of hundreds of miles.
I love music, poetry and words, which explains why music is my secret therapy for downtime. I write poetry infused with spoken words, which I do effortlessly with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Again, my friends, seeing this gift, have carved another name for me- “The word smith” or “ The prophetic poet”. I feel this title was conferred on me by God.
I am a wife to a great man and a mother of two amazing men. I love being active, so I engage in exciting sporting activities – swimming, lawn tennis, and cycling.
I am passionate about having a positive impact on humanity, bringing hope to the hopeless, spreading words of inspiration, milked from my personal experience and the wisdom of God’s word, I will leave the world much better than I found it. A quote by William Carey further buttresses this passion- “I am not afraid of failure; I’m afraid of succeeding at things that don’t matter”.
I am still a work tool in the hands of my creator, a work in progress, gold constantly visiting the goldsmith. I will continue to learn from life and share my encounters, hoping it lifts someone, puts a smile on a face, heals a heart and mends a soul- that is the fulfilment I desire to experience daily.
