He left banking in Nigeria and came to Montreal, where he did his MBA and then started a company, Zenith Cleaning. Tolu considered everything about that company a mystery its people, its practices, its purpose. He said to himself, I will contemplate this thing with awe and curiosity and gratitude until it is done with me.

Ilesanmi passed away in 2017. This beautiful post pays tribute to his remarkable life and spirit. { read more } Be The Change For more inspiration, check out Ilesanmi's post, "I Am A Cleaner." { more } COMMENT | RATE               Related Good News The Keys to Aging Well Amanda Gorman: The Miracle of Morning On the Road with Thomas Merton Words Can Change Your Brain The Phone Call 9 Rules for the Woke Birdwatcher Consciousness as the Ground of Being Mary Oliver: I Happened to Be Standing DailyGood is a volunteer-run initiative that delivers "good news" to 163,561 subscribers.
