This is the story of Karen Ekekwe.

A few months ago, Chef Stone decided to do a number of giveaways - September to Remember - where he gave something that a number of followers had been wishing for for a long time.

It was a rare one and of course, many people went 'crazy' with their requests.
(Someone asked for 5million dollars.
5 million dollars.
Yes. That happened.)
After filtering measures were implemented, Karen was one of the 4 to scale through to get what she had been asking for for weeks - a professional Chef's course with RDC.

Karen was excited about the course. She took pictures, videos and documented her entire experience.

Little did we know that this somewhat small experience would translate into a longer time spent at the RDC Lagos Kitchen. Karen decided to not just take a paid course, but she went ahead to take on the 1 year combination course.

CONTEXT: The 1 year combination costs N940,000.
She definitely thought that small experience was not small, at all.
Her instagram post went thus:
"I officially completed my first 3 months in @reddishchronicles yesterday and I was filled with a lot of emotions. The knowledge and skill I’ve acquired amazes me and I still have a long way to go,I learnt how to make amazing dishes (swipe to view few of my favorite dishes made in school), I learnt how to manage different characters. Being the class representative was a test of my strength but I scaled through in the end. A very big thank you to @reddishchronicles @uberstigg for this great privilege Special shoutout to @hurlarr @chefcupid @missfebruary_27 @chef_tehmy @iam_chef_black @kasfoodie for being the most amazing chef instructors, I’m definitely going to make you guys proud. Here’s to the next 3 months 🥂"
It is always a good idea to take a chance.
You never know, your free pass today may be your golden invite tomorrow.
The opportunity to try something new is knocking...
....It's high time you answered.
Love always, Tife Soloye.
