Let us never forget that our choices matter, and our lives matter.
During a particularly hard time in her own childhood, Dr. Doyin Atewologun kept a journal. She wrote the story of her life, and it helped her to remember where she came from… and where she longed to go. In this episode, she tells us about how she walked the trail from growing up in Lagos, Nigeria to now being the Dean of Rhodes Scholars at Oxford University in England.
Excelling in leadership and inclusion with success and impact, Doyin shares with us how to expand our views on leadership, how to empower young leaders, and how to turbocharge the possibilities for impact.
T. A. and Doyin talk about how to honor our own story – our own identities – and at the same time build community with people from all walks of life.
You are here. And because you are here, you belong.
