Princess Titi Thomas
Community Development
Princess Titi Thomas who hails from Nigeria's Middle Belt, graduated from the Ahmadu Bello University. She is a Teacher, and an Education & Community Consultant.
At a very tender teenage age, she volunteered to teach at local impoverished schools while also studying - which gave her a great insight into her gift in helping others.

She later went on to work for some Charity/ Care-giver organisations contracted through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and others. This meant her and her team, going to several remote villages and communities to dispense knowledge of Health Education and Skills Acquisition programmes such as Weave/Basket Making, Fish & Snail Farming, Poultry, Vegetable Oil extraction, Tie & Dye, Hair Making, Animal Farming, and Tailoring, amongst others.
Some of the communities she worked in were ignorant of HIV/AIDS and had sufferers amongst them - some of whom had nowhere to turn to due to their lack of education. Sadly, some of them have since passed on.
After a stint of travelling across Europe, following her marriage, she settled down in the UK.
In 2014, Princess had a serious accident which resulted in multiple fractures and a head trauma for which she was hospitalised - later leaving her wheelchair-bound for the best part of one year. This will later become another serious turning point in her life - leading her to another dynamic journey through adversity.
While undergoing treatment, and bringing up young children (the youngest being six months at the time), she founded a Social Enterprise - Enablement International (www.enablementinternational.com), to help the vulnerable and disabled through workshops, motivational speaking, modelling and pageants. Her clear message is that: "Disability is not inability."
She exemplified this maxim, when during those challenging years, she went to school on crutches - attaining a Leadership Management Level 5 certification in Health and Social Care.
