MJ then introduced our first speaker for the evening, Nihinlola ‘Lola’ Adeyemi. The title of Lola’s session was really inspirational, ‘Yes, I can! If I can think it! I can do it!’.
As soon as Lola began her session, I realised that we had very similar experiences, particularly around stereotyping and sacrifice. This has shaped us into strong women with a similar attitude to overcoming challenges. During her session, Lola shared some fascinating information and some very valuable lessons with us;
- Discover yourself early
- Follow your passion
- Belief in your self
- Never give up on yourself
