Funke Bucknor-Obruthe: 20 Years of Success, Balance & Overcoming Grief | Open Up Podcast S2E3

 

I sat with a Queen—Funke Bucknor-Obruthe, the icon behind Zapphire Events.

 

We spoke about growing in love, losing deeply, and healing beautifully. From life with a sister who had sickle cell to transitioning from law into event planning and becoming a force in the industry. From the heartbreak of losing her sister and father in quick succession to the beauty that emerged from her pain.

 

Her journey is one of grace, resilience, and faith. We ended the conversation reflecting on her relationship with God and the peace that has shaped her life.
