Love at First Sight? Linus on how he and Stephanie Met
I met Stephanie while doing some Business Consulting work for a Middle
Eastern Company that wanted to berth in Africa; they needed an African
female celebrity ambassador for their brand; Liya Kebede from Ethiopia
and Stephanie were the two candidates on tab for the role; so I reached
out to her; So yeah…it was “Love for Business at First Sight”.

loving, selfless, patient, positive being; someone I have made my
lifelong pursuit to make her truly happy because her heart is in the
right place. It is one thing to say you believe in someone; it’s another
to live it. We are friends, lovers, husband and wife.

On social media pressure
Pressure from fans and the likes comes with the territory; it’s even
worse now with the advent of new social media, if it’s not PINGS, it’s
instagram likes, if it’s not that, it’s facebook beeps, twitter alerts
or linkedin invites. But it’s a world I understand, so for us,
communication is key and that is what defines the boundaries of our
relationship.

Why He’s the One!
He is very tender and protective, a man’s man. He is sweet, humble,
driven, has a close relationship with God, very loving and takes good
care of me. We respect what we have and as a woman, when a man loves
you, you just know. You know that you’re in it together, regardless of
any situation. With him, there was a conviction in my heart that this is
it.
