Alhaja Atinuke Sekinat Afuwape

This world was blessed with Alhaja Atinuke Sekinat Afuwape on May 30, 1958. She was a friend, a sister, a mother, a wife, an entrepreneur (a Jack of all trades). She was a lover of life, and a free spirit! She lit up every room she walked in, be it with her confident strut and positive energy, her sexy smile or her out-of-this-world fashion sense.

Tinuke established a business that brought thousands of people together, especially the African community. She worked tirelessly to provide her customers and friends with the best, so they'd look and feel the best wherever they went. Oh did she achieve that every time without fail? Absolutely!

She was a fashion icon, a trendsetter, and a woman with an enormous heart. Apart from being an amazing artist, she was a devoted Muslim. She gave selflessly; catered to others before herself, and placed God before anything. She was also an extraordinary mother and an even better wife. She touched so many lives and impacted different communities far and wide. Tinuke guided her family through life with compassion, love, wisdom, and generosity, because those things were what encapsulated who she was. So together let us acknowledge and share both our joy in the gift that her life was to us, and the pain that her passing brings.

In sharing the joy and the pain together, may we lessen the pain and remember more clearly the joy. May Almighty Allah grant her the best in the next life. Brighten her grave with his light, forgive her sins and shortcomings, and place her among the righteous and pious. Words cannot express enough how magnificent madam Tinuke was. She was everything!

Our mum will be forever loved and will never be forgotten. Her name will continue to linger in our hearts. Atinuke Sekinat Afuwape, wife of Samuel Olayinka Afuwape, we love you, and we always will. May Allah SWA always be with you mom.
