My journey into STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields) was accidental. My parents wanted me to be a medical doctor but I felt that as much as I had interest in science my strength was not in science subjects as a secondary school student. During my days as an undergraduate, I was privileged to participate in a sustainable development goals (SDGs) conference where I learnt about SDGs 4 (quality education) and SDGs 5 (gender equality). I was worried about the statistics on gender inequality in various spheres including education, politics, corporate employment and leadership among others but also encouraged by the power of quality education in changing this narrative. SheSOLVES Africa was founded on this premise in 2018 to nurture the inner spark in girls and young women interested in pursuing STEM careers, empowering them to solve the current and anticipated problems  on the continent. Since 2018 we have been able to work with 1000+ girls across Southwest Nigeria through various initiatives including STEM-based movie screenings, intergenerational dialogues, and experiential community projects that employ the application of classroom knowledge of STEM. We take pride in one of our girl-led, double-award winning solution to plastic pollution (Trash Tile) at the University of Ibadan GeoHackathon in 2019, and the on-going support from the School of International Futures (SOIF), United Kingdom. In addition to my work at SheSOLVES, I work as a programmes associate with re:learn, the education practice at Co-creation Hub, Africa’s largest innovation hub. I collaborate with my team to design, implement and monitor education projects and programmes as an organisation or in partnership with governments, international agencies and private organisations.
