All I Want For Christmas is... To Experience It with Child-like Excitement & Enthusiasm - Tomilola Vanna

There is a quiet confidence to Tomilola Vanna, one shaped not by noise, but by intention. A Toronto-based digital creator, lawyer, corporate girlie, and mother, she represents a generation of women learning how to hold ambition and softness in the same breath. Her life sits at the intersection of structure and creativity, faith and modernity, discipline and deep feeling.

This year marks a significant shift. Returning to work after maternity leave, Tomilola found herself navigating the realities many women know intimately: corporate deadlines layered over motherhood, the invisible mental load, and the constant recalibration of self. In a season often defined by excess, her reflections feel grounded, honest, and quietly radical.

For the BLANCK Christmas Special, she shares what Christmas means to her now, not as a spectacle, but as a pause. A return to faith, family, and presence. Alongside her reflections, she opens up about the small, personal things that anchor her: rituals, relationships, and moments that feel like home.

The End.
