FEMALE MENTOR OF THE YEAR
Mrs. Pedeino Mathias
Pedeino Mathias is a graduate of the English Language and a certified Public Relations and Communications Practitioner.
After over 14 years of work experience in Sales and Marketing, gaining an extensive knowledge and skill base and Certifications in Customer Service and Retail and Wholesale through Direct Sales and Sales Channels in a one-time Fortune 500 Multi-National in the Telecommunications Sector in Corporate Nigeria, Pedeino voluntarily resigned as a Territory Manager to pursue other interests.
Although she is an Effortless-Fashion-Enigma, she is more passionate about building confidence in women through their Personal Image and Presentation. Fashion affords this opportunity. Hence her motto- “If you look good, you will feel good, if you feel good you will do good!”
This became the motivation for her to venture into full time Business and Entrepreneurship, to push her already established partnership business empire, SP APPARELS, a fashion Brand co-founded alongside her sister.
SP Apparels grew to be a well-established go-to place for women fashion and N0.1 choice for ready-to-wear clothes for her loyal customers in the city of Yola and environs.
Pedeino considers herself a budding venture Capitalist as seen in her interest in a number of investments in other projects and startups she is a part of.
Pedeino later left full time business to advance her experience, now in the area Tax Administration in Corporate Public Sector Nigeria where she currently serves as an Assistant Manager of Tax.
Convener of DIVAS and SPICE Ministry, a Single’s Ministry under the umbrella of House of Refuge International Yola.
Pedeino gave her life to Christ in 1993 as a teenager and has enjoyed God’s mercy and loving kindness and uncommon Grace and favor as He worked on her, making ALL THINGS (on her journey of life) work together for her good according His purpose and call on her life.
Since answering the call to Ministry in 2015, Pedeino is passionate about helping young women discover who they are and what their purpose is,
“To see a young woman dream big and rise to her fullest potentials with confidence, challenging and breaking every limitation to her “becoming” , to see True Beauty in the pseudo beauty the inundates our world today” – (Pedeino Mathias)
This she is able to achieve by educating and empowering women through the DIVAS AND SPICE Platform, True Beauty Podcast, various stages and platforms (local and International) and also as a Mentor and Role Model through her personal lifestyle.
And she has not looked back on this mission since then!
She is a wife and Mother of 5.
