Hi, Friend!
Hi Friend!
I’m Moyosore Somide
Hi, I’m Moyosore Somide, but most people call me Mo. I help Christian girls break free from performance-based Christianity and live a life that genuinely pleases God.
A few things about me . . .
The meaning of my name in my native language is “I rejoice in God’s gift.” I believe joy is meant to be shared, and I’m here to bring joy into your life as we journey together. I wear many hats and have a lot of passions that keep me busy! Some days, you’ll find me in court passionately advocating for my client. Other times, I lead a small group of Christian girls, sharing meals, laughter, and heartfelt conversations about their real issues and how to overcome them together in Christ. I also love to write and often attend writers’ conferences to hone my craft. You might catch me speaking on my podcast or as a guest on other shows, sharing my experiences and insights. Additionally, I help internationally trained lawyers (ITLs) by providing resources to guide them in becoming licensed to practice law in Canada.
When I can, I love to travel and explore the world, whether taking long walks or discovering new places. My mission is to help Christian girls break free from performance-based Christianity and embrace a life that genuinely pleases God. I can’t wait to connect with you!
Wife & Mom
Our story began in church. I was the usher who welcomed him in, not knowing I would be ushering him into my life—cheesy, I know! We live together in London, Ontario, with our beautiful daughter.
Passion for Christian Girls
Born and raised in Nigeria into a family of preachers, I understand the pressures many young Christian girls face. My struggles with performance-based Christianity make me qualified to address this issue.
As a former chronic people-pleaser, I recognize my habit stemmed from growing up as a “church girl,” constantly hearing “what people would say.” I faced immense pressure to dress, serve, and look a certain way, leading me to live a double life that strained my relationship with God. Trapped in this performance cycle, I tried to save myself through good works but found true freedom only when I understood that my righteousness is like filthy rags and that Jesus has already paid the price for my sins.
I host monthly gatherings for Christian girls in the London area. These meetings provide a safe space to sit, eat, pray, and discuss real issues facing Christian girls today without judgment.
Speaker & Writer
I have a deep passion for writing and speaking. I will happily write and speak for the rest of my life, even if I never get paid for them. I loved writing fictional stories as a child, but unfortunately, I lost them during a house move. That setback didn’t stop my love for writing. Although my childhood stories were never published, you can find me sharing my thoughts on my blog as I work toward publishing my first book. I frequently speak at Christian youth conferences, events, and educational conferences for Internationally Trained Lawyers.
Podcaster
I also host a podcast for Christian girls who want to break free from performance-based Christianity and live a life that genuinely pleases God. You can also find me sharing my experiences and insights on my podcast or as a guest on other shows.
Lawyer
I was called to the Nigerian Bar at 21, and two years later, at 23, I was called to the Ontario Bar. The path to becoming a lawyer in Ontario wasn’t easy—it was filled with challenges that opened my eyes to the unique struggles that internationally trained lawyers (ITLs) face when trying to practice in a new country. I shared my success story in a LinkedIn post that unexpectedly went viral. Suddenly, my inbox was flooded with messages from other ITLs seeking advice. I launched a YouTube channel dedicated to helping ITLs navigate the licensing process in Canada. Through this platform, I share the resources and insights I wish I’d had, supporting fellow lawyers as they become licensed in a new country.
