Young leader. Advocate. Mentor.

Seun advances change through a combination of international advocacy and community initiatives. She is a Community Member of UN Women UK, represents Nigeria in the Pan-African Youth Parliament and is a Theirworld Global Ambassador, collaborating with a network of advocates to drive change through action. She is also an active member of the Common Futures Conversations community at Chatham House, working with other young people from around the world to discuss policy ideas and engage with policymakers. Alongside this, she volunteers as a King’s Trust Youth Mentor, supporting secondary school students across Greater Manchester to build confidence and achieve their aspirations.

A key part of Seun’s leadership is using her connection to the diaspora to create lasting social impact. Growing up in the UK while remaining deeply invested in Nigeria has shaped her sense of responsibility to use her opportunities and networks to make a difference. Over the years, this has included raising funds to support an orphanage, tackling environmental challenges through beach clean-up initiatives and participating in community outreach to support vulnerable communities. Seun’s long-term ambition is to advance the economic empowerment of women and young people in Nigeria.

In recognition of her leadership potential across her academic, professional and volunteering experiences, she was named one of the most outstanding Black university students in Britain, and recently recognised as a finalist on two separate occasions for her achievement, dedication and contribution inspiring future generations.
