More quotes by Teni

People say they want your art, but they don’t want the artist to express themselves in truth.

“Mistakes are not fatal, and failures are only battle scars".

You as an artiste, should see yourself as a business. You are a walking currency which means your face, voice, silhouette, and everything about you is valuable.

There’s no pain without growth and there’s no growth without pain.

While you’re here, it is about your own happiness. That is how I live my life, on my own terms as Teniola Apata.
