Career Development

The book was a success; due to its motivational nature it became popular among young girls, and also among guardians of young girls, trying to instill qualities such as hard work and patience in their wards.
Publishing that book, especially at such a young age also opened many doors and opportunities for her; it gave her a foundation to build on. She continued on that career path, becoming better and bigger in her craft.
She published a magazine called Romeo and Juliet during her studies at the Institute Of Management And Technology (IMT), Enugu State.

As a magazine targeting young people, it also talked about love, relationships, and everything in between.
An exaggerated report on the magazine stated “anybody who went to MIT during that period must know about the magazine.” The magazine, while another important milestone in her publishing career, did not last very long on the shelves.
Juliet then returned to publishing books which is her first love.
