In a recent Instagram story, Ms. Ladipo shared her
contentment with the decision to retain her maiden name post-marriage.
Upon introspection, she challenged the concept of modifying
a name that has been diligently cultivated over two decades.
Ladipo emphasized the substantial effort required to
construct a personal brand and advised against its hasty abandonment,
especially on official documentation.
She advised individuals, particularly women, to take their
time when making such decisions, emphasizing the significance of maintaining
the identity they have diligently cultivated.
“Do you want to know 1 thing? I’m so happy I didn’t rush to
when I was married.
Changing my name.
How did I spend over 20 years building the Shade Ladipo
brand to changing it overnight to another name?
Some people see my father and say Oh, you’re Shade Ladipo’s
Father?
“Sis, you’ve worked too hard to build your brand. Don’t be
too quick to change it, especially on legal documents. Take your time; there’s
no hurry, I promise you!”
