Hello, I’m Dr Aderinsola Adio-Adepoju; I have helped professionals and youths secure over $700,000, won/attracted (personal) 35+ global opportunities worth over $35,000 that took me to 5 continents, and I shape lives for living.
African youths are my passion, and my mission is to help 10 million of them become skilled, become relevant to the 21st-century workforce, and arrive at the global stage by 2030.
In 2021 and 2023, I organized the most extensive online youth conference for African youths and women. The 2021 & 2023 editions reached over 2.6 million people. The 2021 event saw participation from 40+ African countries, with 14,000+ registered attendees and 35 speakers from 25+ nations. In 2023, the GMC had 41 speakers and 24,000 registered participants from 54 countries.
I am an academic with a BSc, MSc, and PhD in Chemistry and a university teacher. I have been an entrepreneur for the last 14 years. I have a mini MBA from the International Finance Corporation (IFC)
In 2022-2023
As the Design Lead, I worked remotely internationally with the Natural History Museum of London (NHM).
I also served as the Global Project Coordinator at the Museum For the United Nations (U.N. Live).
I have been featured in local and international press and media, such as the Voice of Canada, US InStyle Magazine, Women Radio, Tekedia, TVC, Punch Newspaper, and many others. I have several awards and am happily married and blessed with children.

Dr. Derin helped me find direction in less than one hour through one of her live clarity sessions/webinars for a multipotentiality. I have always been on a journey to finding purpose and always asked myself “why” do I do all that I find myself doing? Why do I suddenly get tired and want more from it all? Dr. Derin helped me find a better understanding and helped me align my purpose to who I am and what I do.”

Dr. Derin is who I refer to as “The Clarity King”. Her ability to give clarity to high-impact projects and teach novices how to win global opportunities is unprecedented across Africa. I just feel bad I did not find Derin before now,
