Adebola Adefioye
Project Officer
Born and raised in Nigeria, Adebola had financial challenges in the university in Nigeria and that led to her dropping out in her second year over a decade ago. As a newcomer in Canada, her family, especially her daughter experienced racism and had no friends at school for two years. Adebola continued to provide strengths-based support to her child to overcome the challenges. These experiences inspired her to start the AWYF and guides her work as an inspirational, award-winning leader, mentor, and anti-black racism advocate.
