Tolu Adesina

Affectionately known as Kekere (Tiny), Tolu's passion for young people and their development is anything but tiny. An avid volunteer with a heart to inspire young minds to achieve their fullest potential in all areas, Tolu is the co-founder of the Women of the Word and Seed Foundation and spends a majority of her time engaging with teenagers and young adults on issues such as career development, emotional trauma and self-acceptance. With a warm yet engaging manner, Tolu cuts to the depth of the issues facing young people today in a relatable yet practical way and her raw but real conversational style of story-telling draws people in and ensures her message of love in the face of trauma reaches the depth of the hearts of those she engages through her blog and social media platforms.




Tolu's debut book, In the Vault, was released in April 2018 and is an extremely personal and raw book which everyone can relate to and find a little of themselves in. It is a book that journeys through deeply felt losses, shameful mistakes and vulnerable moments as well as the lessons learnt from each step of the journey. Tolu has a unique perspective into the every day issues and inner conflict we all face and will make you laugh, cry and scream as you learn along with her.

When she isnt working on a blog or a book, Tolu loves eating, travelling, reading, watching movies and playing with her nieces.
