Hello, Cousin.

My name is Dr. Lilly Mbinglo.

I love God, I love people, I love learning, I love teaching, I love giving, I love building, and I love helping others discover how much is possible for their lives. This little corner of the internet is where all the pieces of my life come together.

However you found me

Welcome, Cousin.

Maybe you heard me speak, saw me on television, read one of my books, discovered my CPA firm, sat in one of my classrooms, or met me somewhere along the way.

  • Maybe you came for a reason.
  • Maybe someone sent you.
  • Maybe you were simply curious.
  • Maybe a little note found you.

However you got here, I’m grateful you did. Stay awhile.

Faith & Notes

Did one of my little notes bring you here?

I leave handwritten notes in unexpected places because we walk past people every day without knowing what they are carrying. Someone may be smiling while grieving, successful while exhausted, or surrounded by people and still feel alone. Sometimes a few handwritten words can interrupt a difficult day.

God sees you.
You are not invisible.
You do not have to know how everything will work out to keep moving.
Rest when you need to.
Then take the next step.

Meet Lilly

The titles don’t tell the whole story.

Before the accomplishments and professional milestones, I am a woman who loves God deeply, treasures her family, believes fiercely in people, and wakes up wanting to use whatever God has given me to make somebody else’s life better.

My story began in Cameroon, watching my mother—a tailor—work hard, serve people, and build something meaningful with her own hands. Through every chapter since, God has been incredibly faithful.

A message close to my heart

Gratitude is my secret weapon.

Gratitude does not mean pretending life is perfect. It means refusing to let what is missing make us blind to what is already present. It has carried me through hard seasons, kept success in perspective, and taught me to recognize ordinary moments as extraordinary gifts.

I had the privilege of carrying this message to the TEDx stage—and it remains one of the clearest ways to understand who I am beyond the titles.

Notes From Lilly

A few thoughts from my heart to yours.

Short reflections about faith, gratitude, family, purpose, business, and the things I am still learning.

For the person who feels behind

You are not behind.

Your life is not running on someone else’s clock. Keep building faithfully.

For the person starting over

You are beginning again with wisdom.

Starting over does not erase everything you learned the first time.

Forty was the milestone.
Impact is the mission.

The Lilly Mbinglo Foundation

What is success for if it never becomes a blessing to somebody else?

We put faith into action by creating opportunities through education, economic empowerment, practical support, and the love of God.

FaithEducationEconomic empowermentPractical support

Sometimes faith looks like prayer. Sometimes faith looks like paying a school fee. Both matter.
