About this episode
Dyslexia is a global challenge—affecting millions, yet still misunderstood in many parts of the world. What's truly inspiring is how awareness is now gaining momentum in Africa, especially in Nigeria, where conversations about neurodiversity are just beginning to break through cultural and educational barriers. In this episode, I sit down with Adunola Shoge, a trailblazer who is changing the narrative around dyslexia in Africa. We explore her personal journey, the unique challenges faced by neurodivergent adults in Nigeria, and the practical tools that are making a real difference. Why is dyslexia awareness kicking off in Nigeria now? Because more voices like Adunola's are speaking up, challenging stigma, and building communities of support. It's a reminder that inclusion is a global movement—and every story matters.   Highlights   Adunola's personal journey with dyslexia and what inspired her to become an advocate. The biggest challenges facing neurodivergent communities in Africa—and how Adunola is helping to overcome them.
