Olamide Fafemi grew up speaking both English and Yoruba fluently. She moved to the UK for further education where she qualified and is currently working as a Chartered Accountant.
The birth of her daughter in London highlighted the importance of educating her kids about her roots. She is passionate about bringing up her kids to be proud and confident about the Nigerian heritage. Being a minority in the UK and the unfortunate racism experienced by her daughter at a young age further inspired her to share her passion with the world and introduce children to stories that are representative of the African culture and educate people to embrace diversity.
