In this episode, Olayemi shares her experience moving abroad, not once, but twice! Her journey starts in Nigeria, then takes her first to Bristol in England, then to Montreal, QC, in Canada. We discuss the challenges she faced having to start afresh multiple times, including having to learn French in Canada. Olayemi highlights the importance of having a community to support you as you navigate life in your new home.
Olayemi studied biomedical sciences at the University of the West of England. She then moved to Montreal where she completed a Bachelor of Arts in human relations at Concordia University. She is currently working as an administrative executive and a marketing support representative.
