Dear X,
I am deeply honoured to share that I have been nominated for the JCI Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the Year Award (TOYP), screened and verified by KPMG, in the Academic Leadership or Accomplishment Category.
This recognition means more than a title. It is a reflection of every community I've built, every learning space I've created, every young person I've encouraged to own their seat, and every young person I've equipped with tools to lead.
From founding the Orifunke Lawal Academy and Rooms and Roundtables, to serving in public governance and championing women's empowerment through the Winning Ladies Circle/Lady with Balls, my journey has always been about people and systems.
Public voting is now open and I would truly appreciate your support. Please take a moment to vote for me and share with your networks as well. Every vote means a lot.

Thank you very much.

We are currently going viral on IG. So, I thought to bring it here 🤭
Hosting this wedding reception was such a joy. When I say I help my clients create beautiful moments that become cherished memories, I don’t stutter 🤭
In exactly one week, heaven will kiss earth as we convene the Thirty Threshold Gathering, a special spiritual meeting for those clocking 30 in 2026.
The Thirty Threshold Gathering is where you should be if you're interested in stepping into 30 prepared to be commissioned, aligned and propelled.
This will be an atmosphere of powerful prayers, heartfelt worship, destiny declarations, sanctifying words and prophetic envisioning.
If you are 30 this year, this is YOUR TIME!
So far, we have over 270 people registered to join us both physically in Lagos and virtually online, and we have some more seats for those who want to join us physically.
If you clock 30 this year or know a Christian who is, please help share with them.

Please, repost and share, and tag someone who is the big 30 this year! ♥️🙏🏾
The cat’s out of the bag.
After almost a decade building growth systems across fintech, telecom, crypto, FMCG, betting and tech in globally, I’m now 3 months into building something new.
It’s called @ReechAfrica.
What a historical time we had at Rooms and Roundtables III: The Leaders' Convening! This is purpose. This is impact. This is history.
Leaders from across Nigeria gathered under one roof, not to chase titles or exchange motivational quotes, but to wrestle with the real questions of leadership, systems, and the future.
We called it The Leaders’ Convening because that’s exactly what it was: a room full of doers, thinkers, and dreamers.
We had six powerful conversations, each one practical, grounded, and deeply local yet globally relevant. From Global Citizenship and Social Impact, to AI and the Future of Work, Governance and Systems Thinking, Economic Leadership, and Storytelling and Visibility. Every session stretched perspectives and stirred something lasting.
Our speakers (Oluwatoyin Banjo, Tolulope Makinwa-Adeniyi, Oluwasegun Ojo, Juliet Ezumba, Favour Yusuf, and Akan Imoh) gave their best: depth, clarity, and truth. And the leaders in the room? They showed up like the present and future Africa deserves; engaged, curious, and ready to collaborate.
By the end of the day, we had begun work on five major roundtable policy themes; ideas that will grow into a policy document to be shared with industry leaders and decision-makers.
It was a dream realized, one built on collaboration, vision, and the belief that the right rooms can change everything.
To every speaker, partner, and leader who showed up: thank you for believing in what @RoomsandRtables for. We’re building something truly special, one room at a time.
If you were there, share your reflections. If you weren’t, stay close because the next room will be even louder.
#RoomsAndRoundtables #TheLeadersConvening
When I started Rooms and Roundtables, the goal was simple; to create a space where brilliant young leaders could have real conversations that inspire action, not just talk.
Three editions later, that dream has grown into something truly special and significant.
This Friday, we’ll be hosting Rooms and Roundtables III: The Leaders’ Convening, bringing together 50 exceptional leaders from across Nigeria for a full day of deep, practical, and transformative conversations.
We’ll be joined by some of the finest minds leading change in social impact governance, policy, technology, storytelling, and enterprise.
RRT always makes your heart burn and I honestly can’t wait to see what new sparks will fly when these kinds of minds meet.
To our selected participant leaders, Congratulations. We have prepared so hard for you and now, I can't wait to see you! 🎉

Have you ever worked with someone that their mood kept changing in the office?
Fusion team members obviously have different moods. From begging for mercy, to “don’t even catch me on camera”, to being completely confused about the meeting.
