Early life
Halliday hails from Bonny Island in Rivers State, Nigeria.[4] Her mother is from the Halliday Awusa “King Halliday” House of the Kingdom of Bonny.[5] hence she is a Princess. At the age of 3, she hosted her first radio talk show, Kiddies World[6] and by the age of 14, she had held a number of roles at different companies. She enrolled into university at the age of 15 to become a Petroleum Engineer.[7] She has worked in both upstream and downstream sectors of oil and gas.

(talking about her show The Princess Halliday Show)[6]
Empower Africa Initiative
At age 19, Princess Halliday founded the Empower Africa Initiative whose mission is to positively enhance the mindset of the world by showcasing and engaging people, communities, and organizations, while empowering them to lead, innovate, and serve authentically. Halliday began producing her television show the Princess Halliday Show in collaboration with Multichoice Africa to be syndicated on M-Net via the DSTV network. The show has Halliday and her team travel across the world to showcase world leaders, global players, entrepreneurs, movie stars and ordinary people doing extraordinary things.[5] [9]
In 2012, Halliday realizing the lack of structure and water system in the Niger Delta area after visiting the Niger Delta, mobilized and harnessed Empower Africa Initiative with the Niger Delta Development Company of Nigeria and carried out the Reticulation of pipes in the Niger delta area, creating pipe borne water for several Niger delta communities.
Halliday is the first young Nigerian to properly strive to have a degree in Leadership that transcribes what it means to lead authentically.
2014 till date
In 2014, Halliday earned a Leadership training from Harvard University in the Art of Persuasion: Communicating with Influence.[10] She is currently rounding up an additional degree in Leadership from Woodbury University. Determined to revolutionize the understanding of Leadership as Africa Knows it, where young people, both female and male are not naturally perceived to be originators of great initiatives or leadership positions, Halliday frequently strengthens the need for mindsets to be Empowered.
Halliday hosted the 2014 Miss Commonwealth International Pageant in the UK.[1] She also served Rivers state as a special media and image consultant to the wife of the Governor of Rivers State at the time, Dame Judith Amaechi.[5]
Halliday along with women from Rivers state visited Morocco for the World Leaders Summit/Crans Montana Female Leadership Forum in Rabat Morroco where she met the President of Malta,President Marie Louise Coleiro Preca- the youngest female to assume the office of the President, and her Chief of Staff Mr John Camilleri.[5]
For avery long time, women have been underrepresented in elite leadership roles with a mindset that systematically underestimates their own abilities. To see these phenomenal women doing extraordinarily in significant leadership positions and going beyond the perceived leadership labyrinth is Laudable.
In 2015, her show, the Princess Halliday show was renewed for another season, and she played host to a number of notable international guests including, American christian contemporary singer Don Moen, Jamaican singer Chevelle Franklyn, former Nigerian Presidential candidate, Professor Pat Utomi, emmy nominated actress Amy Gibson, Hollywood actor from the movie "the perfect match" Rob Riley and a former Rivers State governorship cadidate Peterside Dakuku and many others.[6] Halliday has also interviewed Nollywood actors, Mike Ezuruonye, Tonto Dikeh, International singer Ron Kennoly, Nigeria megachurch pastor and church leader, Apostle Johnson Suleiman, the former Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency(NIMASA) Raymond Temisan Omatseye and many other others on her show.[11]
