Advocacy is my calling and passion.  As a social worker, I advocate for change, emphasizing the value of human dignity and actively involving everyone who is excluded in social development. I had the honour of founding The Connecting Dots Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to human capital development in Nigeria. By providing youths with the resources and tools they need to achieve their goals through outreach, we assist them in the journey toward development. I have also been involved in local and international projects in Canada that portray the realities of BIPOC and the difficulties they experience and have space for conversations that will lead to change. Finally, I also carry out initiatives that provide resources for newcomers to the province and aim to reduce systemic racism.

In my opinion, everyone has a part to play in making more equitable and inclusive communities. This starts with the family. Parents should model inclusive behaviour, and foster empathy and respect in their children. Secondly, a peace and play strategy should be promoted. This enables people of all cultures and values to interact, fostering multiculturalism which encourages the integration of other cultures and sharing of ideas and viewpoints. This leads to innovation and more fruitful working relationships, ultimately reducing inequality.

Finally, commitment to a Diversity Equity and Inclusion policy in organizations and the government, and making sure that the necessary enforcement measures are in place will help ensure inclusive spaces for all.
