"Tolulope Ilesanmi was a cleaner. He left banking in Nigeria and came to
Montreal, where he did his MBA and then started a company, Zenith Cleaning. Tolu
considered everything about that company a mystery its people, its practices,
its purpose. He said to himself, I will contemplate this thing with awe and
curiosity and gratitude until it is done with me. Eventually he wrote down this
sentence: Cleaning is the process of removing dirt from any space, surface,
object or subject thereby exposing beauty, potential, truth and
sacredness."
Ilesanmi passed away in 2017. This beautiful post pays tribute to his
remarkable life and spirit.
