Olamipeju said this about herself recently, ‘I have
always had this dream since i was in the secondary school. It did not just jump
on me. I have had nights when i cried on my bed in the University of Lagos
because i was not doing what i believed i should be doing. You can’t fully
comprehend the labour that we put into this dream every day. It’s not a 6am to
6pm job, it’s 24 hours every day. It’s because it’s in my blood. It’s the
breath i breathe. I hate to see women suffer the avoidable. I'm excited to do even more'.
Olamipeju is live on air every Tuesday at 3:05pm on Unilag Radio 103.1fm and can be seen holding small talks with young women around Lagos Metropolis.
