We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Roselyn Omaka a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Roselyn, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s jump to the end – what do you want to be remembered for?
I want to be remembered as a visionary who harnessed the power of media and technology to create a more compassionate, inclusive world. My brands transcend entertainment, serving as vessels to educate, empower and drive positive transformation in society. By forging deep emotional connections through authentic storytelling that resonates across diverse backgrounds, my goal is to uplift mindsets, instill self-belief and inspire future generations to be catalysts for change. Leveraging my experience at Apple during the Steve Jobs era, I combine creativity with purpose, using AI and data-driven insights to craft narratives that truly resonate with audiences. My legacy will be one of inclusivity, compassion and progress – shaping a more just, equitable society where everyone has opportunities to thrive. I strive to leave an indelible mark by empowering people to embrace their inherent strength, tap into their hopes and resilience, ultimately creating a better world for all.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
Building ‘The Roselyn Omaka Show’ was a testament to resilience. As the podcast grew, I faced unexpected hurdles with my initial team. Our visions no longer aligned, and it stifled our progress. But I didn’t let that stop me. I refused to give up, even when it felt like the easiest option.
I made the bold decision to rebuild my team from the ground up. It was a turning point! My new team was not only skilled but also passionate, dedicated, and united in our vision. Sometimes, you need to pivot to propel forward. And I learned that when life gets tough, you can’t quit. You must push through the discomfort, because that’s where the growth happens.
I learned that having the right team is vital to success. It’s not just about expertise, but also shared passion, values, and commitment. Occasionally, that means making tough decisions and starting anew. And I’m grateful for the challenges we overcame and proud of what my team and I have accomplished. Remember, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. We grow in discomfort, and that’s where the real magic happens.
