In a time when inclusion efforts are under pressure and immigrant communities are too often misrepresented, Dr. Lola Adeyemo is leading with courage, clarity, and heart. As founder of Immigrants in Corporate, she empowers first-gen and immigrant professionals to thrive by building meaningful careers, connecting to mentors, and creating communities of belonging inside and outside the workplace.
In this episode of SoCal Voices, Dr. Lola shares how Southern California’s unique diversity offers both challenges and opportunities, and why community, allyship, and storytelling are key to navigating today’s climate. Whether you’re an immigrant professional finding your place, or a SoCal native who wants to build stronger bridges of understanding, this episode will remind you that resilience grows when we stand together, and that thriving in SoCal means no one has to do it alone.
