Debbie is a graduate of policy and strategic studies from Covenant University. She started dancing when she was six years old. She draws her inspiration from her mother whose support for her work has been unwavering.

Pinki Debbie’s still going though, despite breaking the record, as she plans to set a new record of 150 hours.

Congratulations Pinki the sky is not even the limit. It is great when people pursue their gifts and talents. The role her mother played in encouraging her cannot also not be downplayed. This is a nice reminder to all parents that whatever a child is interested in, trains for an focuses on can open doors and amazing opportunities.
