THE BLOGGER POINT BRUNCH 2017
Friday, September 15, 2017
Hey beautiful people, how are you guys doing? .... Thanks for stopping by here, so like I stated in my previous post, I have been struggling with a few lacks
of motivation issues, it apparently happens to the best of us all but I
guess I let mine eat me up a little too much which hindered me from making any new blog posts for over three months, but anyway I am back and
I definitely wouldn't be staying away for that long anymore, not after I
attended the oh so amazing annual Bloggers Brunch organized by The Blogger Point.
Yassss!!! I am a proud member of The Blogger Point and I couldn't be
more proud to be part of a literal community that brings Bloggers
together with a large aim of lifting each other up and helping us to
connect and also work with brands, I attended the Abuja Bloggers brunch
chapter, this year it was an all-white themed party
and boy did we party (smiles)
It was on Sunday 27th of August and the event was hosted at Laguna Lounge and Bar Abuja, actually my place of work (smiles). I work with Laguna
lounge and bar as their social media manager and also as their online
promoter, literally since I started working there I have been on my
boss' neck about us collaborating or doing something with The Blogger
Point because I just knew it would be a great way for us to create a
huge buzz for Laguna lounge and bar and also an awesome way for bloggers to fall in love with Laguna which would get them to come
back again and again and also recommend us to other people as well as
brands and other bloggers even, plus really what's not to love about
Laguna? (Laughs). But seriously, I mean look at that view.
When the opportunity came whereby the Blogger Point was looking for a
venue sponsor for the event, The Blogger Point made a post on Instagram
where we were asked to drop the names of spots in Abuja that would be
great for the event, I, of course, dropped Laguna Lounge and Bar' name and
then The Blogger Point reached out to us and my Boss obviously accepted
and I was over the moon excited, so I just want to make a quick shout
out to my Boss for being so generous as to give Laguna free of charge to
The Blogger Point I know he would rather remain anonymous as usual or
else I would have mentioned him here but I would make sure he reads
this, so shout out to you (laughs).
Okay so let me just do a quick recap of the day's event, I happened to be a Sunday and so I was at Church and you can imagine how I was busy praying about the brunch and anticipating it throughout the church service.
When we closed we left and I went to go get changed and then headed to
Laguna lounge and bar, which is located in the Central area or
the Central Business district inside of Bolingo Hotel Abuja.
When I got down from my cab which by the way, the cab guy was a funny
man who teased me all the way through about how nice I looked, it was a
real confidence booster that I actually needed considering I was going
to be among these amazing set of Fashion bloggers and all other kinds
of bloggers who would obviously come to slay, anyways Immediately I
got down the first face I met on the aisle also walking in was the
lovely celebrity makeup artist and Panelist speaker for the day Lydia Stanley
we said our hi's
and hellos and then I recognized her and I was like "hey, I know you,
in fact, we follow each other on Instagram " (laughs)
and she was like really, that's nice and we spoke some more especially
about how late we both were (laughs) when I got in we were welcomed by the smiling face of the founder of The Blogger Point Maryam Salam
I said hi and kept walking but Lydia stopped to say hi and they hugged and did their thing as I kept on moving towards the bar hall I was further welcomed by these two awesome photographers The Lumi K photography and Dkinboss Inc photography
Immediately I saw their camera lenses
I posed of cause (laughs) ... (I know, I'm that vain) then at the entrance of the bar, I met with
blogger and TBP (the blogger point ) team member for the day Dear Salmah, we said hi and she asked me my name and started to look through
the list of registered attendees for For the day and then MsDemi Akin
walked up to her from behind and was like "does he need an introduction?
He is Davisfierce, our only attending male blogger" at this point we
three were laughing
and in my mind, I was going "Wait, I'm the only guy here" (laughs) then Salmah spotted my name and I went in and went straight in to
hug MsDemi Akin and we said our hellos and that was the big moment when I
turned and faced my right and saw all of these beautiful bloggers in
white seated and just gisting looking like angels (smiles) and in my mind I
was like "whoa" this is cute, the first person that I noticed and
recognized was top Abuja based blogger and YouTuber Bella of
IamBrownie.com, our eyes met and she waved and I also waved and was like
hey gurl, there
was no missing her because of her
really cool and creative look and everyone was in love with it, me too (laughs).
When I got in proper, I saw bloggers Neo Agram and Blogger Oprah Morgridge discussing and they looked friendly plus their seat had space for me in between them to sit down so I said hi to them and then asked them if I could join them and they welcomed me A few minutes later MsDemi Akin who was the events Host/moderator came in and welcomed everyone and we officially got started by the way MsDemi Akin did a phenomenal job that day, she was the absolute best host, the first thing we did was a cool ice breaker game whereby we were all given a list with different categories of bloggers and we all had to walk up to each other to say hi and find out where they fit in to fill up In the list and when your list was all filled up you would shout bingo but I doubt anyone of us got it all right or even understood what we were to do well enough (laughs).
But that was when I met the sweetheart-ed blogger Lily of Nigeria, she had come in and we said hi but didn't quite relate until the ice breaker game and from then on we clicked and laughed and joked around, she was such a fun partner in crime for the day (smiles) she was such a pleasure and a joy, such a very sweet and pleasant lady, we had lots of laughs that day.
MsDemi Akin later gave us all numbers which enabled us to get split up into groups and each group had to pick a leader and the group leader was given an item to take back to the group, basically we had to come up with a creative way as a group to sell whatever you had been given and the best and winning group would get some really fab stuff like free photoshoots for a year and other stuff like that, my group, group three (3) got a bandanna from CeeppleRed and we came up with different awesome ways that the bandanna could be styled and used.
We
sadly didn't win the challenge but honest to God, I really do believe we were the most
creative and most fun group and this isn't just my opinion alone, we got a lot
of other bloggers even from the winning team that came to us and was
like we were surprised that we won, you guys were the best, we were the
best but obviously not the winners but that's okay what matters the most
are the memories we now have and the experience of working together, by
the way my group leader was the darling PrincessAudu.
She and I had chatted a few times before on Instagram and we keep up with each other blog so it was really nice meeting her for the first time, and yes we hugged it out too (smiles) (I'm a hugger).
Later on, the panelist speakers comprising of Rhoda of AdohrSpeaks, Bella of IamBrownie.com and the celebrity makeup artist Lydia Stanley were given time to speak to us, the Brunch's Topic was "Bridging The Gap Between Nigerian Bloggers and Brands" so they told us their experiences as well as different perspectives as bloggers and successful brand influencers, they also gave up tips and advice on how to successfully work as a bloggers in Nigeria and no I will not share the tips (laughs) if you want to know them, then you would have to become part of The Blogger Point and attend the next brunch (smiles).
Spot me in the photo below and check me out being all serious, got my poker face on and listening attentively to the teachings of the panelists (laughs)
