Fifty & Flourishing - Ola’s Big Day

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family & Personal Life

Ola is a devoted wife and a loving mother of four beautiful children – three boys and one girl. Her family remains her greatest source of joy and inspiration, shaping the values of compassion, resilience, and service that define her life.

Ola’s commitment to personal growth and learning has always been evident in her academic path.

  • She earned her Bachelor’s degree in English Language from the University of Lagos, Nigeria.
  • Pursuing her passion for global affairs and humanitarian work, she completed a Master’s degree in International Relations at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Kensington, Sydney, Australia.

Her educational experiences laid a strong foundation for the impactful community work and leadership roles she would go on to embrace.

With more than 18 years of experience in the welfare sector, Ola has dedicated her career to supporting vulnerable individuals and families. She has worked extensively in various capacities within the welfare industry and is currently engaged in providing domestic violence support services, offering hope, safety, and guidance to survivors.

Her work has not only strengthened her professional skills but has also deepened her understanding of the unique challenges faced by African communities in Australia.

Ola’s passion for service extends far beyond her professional responsibilities. Her hands-on experience in the welfare system opened her eyes to the specific needs within African migrant communities, inspiring her to take meaningful action.

Co-Founder of African Women Group (AWG), Sydney

Ola co-founded the African Women Group (AWG), a dynamic network dedicated to supporting women – especially vulnerable women and children – across the African diaspora.

Under her leadership and vision:

  • AWG hosts an annual Dinner Dance, attracting over 500 women from various African countries and allies (“Friends of Africa”) across Australia.
  • The group organises empowerment programs, workshops, and activities aimed at uplifting and educating women.
  • AWG has grown into a recognized community organization, now receiving funding from the government and various NGOs across Australia.

Her contributions have helped create a strong, supportive platform that empowers African women to thrive socially, economically, and emotionally.
