In a moving fusion of personal purpose, divine inspiration, and public leadership, Gbesoye-Debo Olujimi an accomplished energy executive, franchise leader, and mentor has launched a transformative book titled “Doing and Being” alongside a bold new platform, Made for Impact.
The launch, which doubled as a birthday celebration, gathered an audience of dignitaries, thought leaders, and family members to witness a moment that signified more than just the unveiling of a book it marked the birthing of a movement.
A lover of God, passionate speaker, and advocate for purposeful living, Gbesoye-Debo Olujimi has long embraced her divine mandate to awaken young men and women to live intentionally. Through mentorship, writing, and speaking, she has committed herself to helping others find clarity, embrace growth, and pursue lives of meaning.
Her latest endeavour, Doing and Being, is more than a literary project it is the outpouring of a deeply personal and spiritual journey sparked by two life-altering events: a near-fatal car accident in 2019 and the loss of her father in 2020. These pivotal moments catalyzed a season of reflection, surrender, and renewal that gave birth to the message at the heart of her book and platform.
“Legacy is not merely about what we leave behind when we die,” she says, “but rather about the lives we impact while we are still here.”
Doing and Being emerged not through strategic planning but through divine obedience. According to Olujimi, each step in the process from the concept to the title, to the final design was revealed through spiritual prompting and intentional listening.
“The full outline was downloaded into my spirit,” she reflects. “The writing process unfolded step by step, guided by divine instruction.”
More than just a memoir, the book delves deeply into themes of self-awareness, intentional living, personal values, and legacy. It is a compelling reminder to live from the inside out, embracing one’s true essence while resisting the comparison culture. Through candid reflections, practical lessons, and deeply personal stories including a poignant tribute to her late father in Chapter 6 Olujimi offers readers a roadmap to self-discovery and spiritual alignment.
She practices what she preaches. Her day-to-day life is rooted in values she intentionally defines, maintaining balance between her many roles as a wife, mother, executive, and mentor, all while staying spiritually aligned and emotionally aware.
“I strive to remain centered and true to my essence,” she says. “Self-awareness gives me strength for self-control and helps me remain authentic.”
The Launch: A Sacred Moment of Impact
Held on her birthday, the book and platform launch was more than a celebratory event it was a sacred gathering of like-minded visionaries and supporters. The unveiling of Doing and Being and the launch of the Made for Impact platform were synchronized for symbolic reasons. According to Olujimi, it represented a fresh season of purpose.
“Made for Impact is the platform, and the book is its first tangible expression. That day marked a new chapter for me stepping boldly into my assignment to actively impact lives.”
The event, attended by friends, family, and dignitaries, featured a lineup of respected speakers and panelists, each carefully curated through divine direction and long-nurtured relationships.
“It was entirely led by God,” she says. “Every guest invited carried a voice relevant to the conversation.”
Among the many powerful moments, one stood out for her: the unveiling of the book itself.
“That single moment was charged with emotion, significance, and divine affirmation.”
Olujimi’s platform, Made for Impact, is aimed at awakening young men and women to live with purpose and intention. It offers resources, guidance, and community support to those committed to personal growth and legacy-building.
“The mission is simple yet profound: to share insights and knowledge that transform minds and inspire purpose in everyone who encounters the platform.”
From mentorship programs to personal development courses, the platform is built to facilitate measurable growth. While the initial focus is on young minds, Olujimi envisions collaborations with other individuals and organizations that share a similar vision.
“I see Made for Impact nurturing a generation living with meaning and authenticity people who value collaboration and understand their uniqueness.”
Balancing her executive role as the Executive Director at Emadeb Energy Group and Franchise Managing Partner at MTN, with her calling to mentor, parent, and inspire, Olujimi credits her ability to navigate these lanes to grace, intentional prioritization, and obedience.
“It’s by the grace of God. I’ve learned to show up fully in each role, as required per time.”
She lives by the mantra: “Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.” It is no surprise that she has become a trusted voice of transformation and a role model for many.
For those who feel stuck or unsure of their purpose, Olujimi offers a gentle but profound reminder:
“Purpose is a journey, not a destination. It unfolds in seasons. Be kind to yourself. Take a break when needed. And don’t be afraid to ask for help.”
As for what’s next? The journey is just beginning. Olujimi hints at more books, events, and purpose-driven initiatives in the pipeline.
In Doing and Being, Gbesoye-Debo Olujimi doesn’t just tell a story she extends an invitation. To pause. Reflect. Awaken. And live with deep intention.
Because, as she powerfully reminds us, true legacy is not left behind it’s lived out daily in the lives we touch.
The book is another beautiful work by Worital.
