Подробнее о видео

In this inspiring episode of Jasiri, we spotlight two powerful Nigerian women making waves in different arenas—but united in purpose. First, we sit down with Ibironke Adeagbo, a chartered accountant and the passionate founder of IA-Foundation, as she shares her mission to reduce the number of out-of-school children in Nigeria and champion girls' education through sustainable action and policy advocacy. Ahead of the foundation’s 6th anniversary, Ibironke reflects on building a movement changing lives, one child at a time.

Then, we shift gears to celebrate Simisola Gbadamosi, the youngest Nigerian ever nominated for an International Emmy Award for her role as Tola in Disney’s groundbreaking animated series, Iwájú. At just 13, she’s already a voice actress, writer, baker, and inspiration to a generation of dreamers. Simisola shares how she balances school, storytelling, and success while proudly representing Nigeria on the global stage.
