In an Instagram post, Funke revealed that there was a year where she had no spotlight, but the dreams were loud, the tools were not much, but the passion showed up every day.
She said it wasn’t just about playing a role but a season of deep learning about people, purpose and process. Funke added that it was all about potential, but time, growth and grace turned the process into purpose.
“One year, no spotlight.
The dreams were loud.
The tools? Not much
But the passion showed up – every single day.
It wasn’t just about playing a role.
It was a season of deep learning – about people, purpose and process.
Once, it was all about potential.
But time, growth and grace turned the process into purpose.

Each frame carried quiet prayers.
Each moment is a seed, and truly, this is only the beginning”.
Throwback Thursday frames…
Not just pictures — but reminders of where it all started.
The quiet days. The learning moments. The little beginnings.
Every step shaped the journey.
Grateful for growth.
Grateful for grace.
And most of all – grateful for the purpose that keeps unfolding”.
