I Am The Diaspora

I had an interview with Adekunbi Adeoye, the founder of Sesewa, the FIRST internship placement company in Nigeria. She is known as the First Lady of Internships because she created the internship placement industry in Nigeria.   TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: Adekunbi’s story of how she got to where she is today How an internship in a law firm changed her career Her first paying customer Becoming the solution to a serious problem in Nigeria Why internships are important in Nigeria Why networking offline is incredibly important in Nigeria Starting from where you are Importance of mentorship Lessons learned during The Mandela Washington Fellowship in 2015 (YALI)   * Heads up, during small parts of the interview our voices overlap, it was a bug in the Ringr Mobile software. :( *
