Mrs Naledi Dike

Ever come across a voice so unique it makes you pause and just say, “Wow”? That’s exactly what happens when you hear this lady speaking; best voice ever heard since creation. Her voice is unlike anything else, you’d think God lined her vocal cords with caramel or chocolate. I’m not even sugar coating. You have coffee there? Grab it, we’re in for a great interview!

• What’s the best memory you have from when you were a child?
🩷 Best memory for me was when I started attending the school that opened up mind forever, it was a convent school, I remember how I felt in that environment, how different it was from where I came from, my mind was wandering in wonder, I had never experienced a world like that at the time. 


• If you had to travel to 5 countries this year, where would you go?
🩷 Japan for the culture :  Nigeria : being in the business of fashion the tapestry of fabrics and African Luxury brands; China – Technology Switzerland – Winter Wonderland  Monaco – one of the richest countries in the world with very very small population. 


• If you wrote a book what would the title be?

• What’s one thing people would be surprised to know about you?
🩷 I am actually ‘shy’ ‘reserved’ and take tjme to open up and warm up to people, but once you are in my ‘Holy of Holies’ you get to experience  my fun unguarded self. 


• Sunrise or sunsets? Dancing or singing? Would we find you in a restaurant or at a picnic?
🩷 Sunset ; Singing ; Restaurant


• Create a short poem titled “Woman, l hear you.”
🩷 WOMAN I HEAR YOU; For too long you have been silenced, made to feel like you are insignificant, woman I hear you, your voice is a trumpet sounding to the nations Women I hear you, you will speak and address the things that have been swept under the rug and trampled upon. Women I hear you, your voice will echo and transcend a message of love, acceptance, value and purpose. Women I hear you have been silenced because your voice carries anointing for healing, restoration and peace Women I hear no longer will you be afraid, you have been packaged , anointed, deployed to be heard, you are mine and I need you to be heard. 

• How do you balance being a wife, mother and entrepreneur?
🩷 Firstly I don’t believe in balance, but rather in harmony, ( harmony encourages different components to be in oneness and in one accord, creating a beautiful unity of all ) I believe in showing up wholly and as best I can for what the day requires and demand me to be. I do however believe in  bringing  order and planning to my life it’s important and speaks to fruitfulness and productivity , God is a God of order and therefore I need to follow the same pattern. As a wife my first assignment is to be my husband’s helpmaid and helper I allocate a lot of my time and attention to what will advance his God given vision, including investing in prayer for him to do well in all his endeavours. I literally plan my day and the activities I need to get done to advance every area of life including my children’s very hectic schedules and extra curricular activities, emotional soundness, concerning my business I usually need to work on it either very early hours or late evening. In all this I believe in the notion of if it’s important to you, you find a way if it’s not you will give excuses. 


• For how long have you been doing voice overs?
🩷 I’ve been a professional voice since 2019 now making it 6 years.


• How did you come up with the name Nudged for your business?
🩷 So back in my corporate days when I was working for one of the biggest entertainment companies, I was leading a team and there was one lady who affectionately called me ‘Nudged’ and it became a thing it became a name that I was known by from that time I’m talking about 10 years or so ago and it had a nice ring to it especially how she said it, and that remains a very big part of who I am you know, a lot of people still refer to me as Nudge so when I needed to give my clothing brand and personal styling business a name the only name that I immediately first thought of is ‘Nudged’ as it was just an extension of me like another facet of who I was and Nudge came into being.

• As a voice over artist, are there days when your voice is not coming to the show?
🩷 Yes definitely so many times.

• Have you ever experienced rejection or a NO for a project you really wanted to work on? How did you take that?
🩷 Yes many many times, it made me question myself abilities and God sometimes, Rejection is never easy nor does it feel it good, however I do believe that sometimes the mercy of God is protecting us and may use rejection as a way to redirect or rerouting us. I don’t believe God can keep any good thing from me.


• How did you discover this amazing talent?
🩷 I almost wanna say I stumbled into it, however in hindsight I believe God was giving me clues all my life, and because I didn’t quite like my voice I took the compliments and clues as kindness, I mean I would get people complimenting the texture of my voice, and encouraging me to venture in a career in radio or even presenting. A time came when my dear sister youngest sister came across a Voice Over Masterclass advert on Facebook  by the global leader Mr Weza Matomane – who is my voice coach to date. I attended and as they say the rest  is history. 

• What has been the biggest challenge on your entrepreneurship journey?
🩷 The biggest challenge in entrepreneurship for me has to be STAYING committed to the business and relentlessly pushing through, especially when it looks like nothing is happening, and especially when you have all the reason to give up, You need a strength bigger than you to keep going, and keep going, and keep going. Cash flow is another challenge, as an entrepreneur you constantly need cash flow to keep the business afloat and money is usually tied into others which can slow business productivity.


• What is the vision behind Ever Flourishing?
🩷 The Vision is built on Psalms 115:14 NIV – That we will Flourish as we remain planted and even surpass this to the next generations to come as we take root downwards.  The vision behind ‘The Ever Flourishing Hub’ was really birthed from a burden which God had placed in my heart and I believe that God allowed me to see and feel and it is really was  from a burden disunity that I had identified in people of colour and in believers, followers of Jesus Christ and the disunity was really just centred around the strength, in other creeds and other beliefs and other races,  you see the unity and the collaboration and you see how they support one another no matter what, a perfect example would be if you go to a Jewish doctor a general practitioner and you find that there is a need for them to escalate to a specialist or someone who is more skilled in a particular area they will always, always refer a fellow Jew and the same can be said with the Islam community and the same can be said with any other apart from us Africans and people who are believers that troubles me deeply and you know I saw that as a key strength that the other creeds the other communities the other races had and it is something that has set them apart has given them ‘lead’ in almost everything that they do you know.  if a brother or sister has a business it’s a given without even mentioning or speaking about it,  it is a responsibility of the other creeds or races  that they support one another even if the business is not favourable even if it is not the best in what they do, (they will fill in gap by giving knowledge) however  support each other is what they will do. This is one of the areas that deeply deeply troubled me and that God challenged me to partner with him on by his grace.

• When did you get saved?
🩷 My salvation story is very very funny you know it’s three years ago when we had the priviledge of sitting under Pastor Pushie Watson teaching at House Of Treasures Ministries, and she said she got saved again and again and again and again and I remember  laughing and thinking so I’m not a weirdo, I responded to an altar call several times, (I wanted to be sure okay ) however the very very first time I got saved was when I was around  16-17 in a home cell in the hood I grew up in.

• What is your favourite scripture?
🩷 That’s not fair favourite scripture ? Only one ? I have had favourite scriptures in different seasons of my life. For this season it has to be this one : “But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine.”Isaiah‬ ‭43‬:‭1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬


• What’s one piece of advice you’d like to give to a new believer?
🩷 Advise I would give a new believer “ There is nothing you can do that can make God not love you” He loves you on the way to hell, he loves you and you don’t have to prove it to him, God is love. I would also advise a new believer that the WORD works and it’s  LIVING, sit down and get the word on the inside of you as a matter of priority and urgency. 

• How did you come up with the Destiny Productivity Planner? Tell us what inspired you to create something so beautiful!
🩷 The DESTINED productivity Planner was amplified when I stepped into the current role of being the executive personal assistant to Apostle Felix Okoh and Pastor Bulelwa Okoh, and it is because the nature of work that I do that demanded intrinsic attention to detail it demanded harmony between my other responsibilities of being a mother, wife a businesswoman and a multipotentialite so I needed a tool that will be able to help me become effective, and fruitful in everything that I need to do and God began to speak to me about focusing on productivity, on planning and breaking it down to daily activity daily activity as small as sending out an email making a phone call, sending a follow-up text, booking a doctors appointment, and as small as those those details sound he made me understand that that the perceived small details makes up the bigger picture – it reminds me of a scripture of ‘being faithful in the little and when you’re faithful in the little God can begin to trust you with much’ so that was really intentionally born from that time where God was beginning to teach me extensively on some of the loopholes that I had neglected on some areas of my life that were hindering my greatness but now that I had come into the space of serving an international anointed Man and woman of God, I needed to ensure that I don’t drop the ball and likewise still keep the ministry of being a mother a wife a businesswoman, a leader thriving too as unto the glory of God. 

• If you could eat with one biblical figure who would it be and why?
🩷 I would say Jesus but I can sit with him anytime HE is ever present, I’m intrigued by the mother of our Lord and saviour, Mary I would like to get inside her head and understand what state of mind she was in to accept carrying the messiah, also was she not bothered by the scandal of a protruding belly while it was known that she is a virgin, I would also ask about the times that were not recorded in the Bible, what was Jesus like as a child, how was it like to submit to Him?

• If you could live during biblical times which era would you choose and why?
🩷 The era I would chose to live in would be the times Jesus walked the earth, reason being is that we judge some of the Bible characters who walked with Jesus so strongly and harshly sometimes it makes me wonder  how I would respond to walking with Jesus and writing the gospel as it happens how would I respond to Jesus in the flesh
