Esther Odejimi

My name is Esther Odejimi and I am a 2017 Oxford University Graduate. I am the holder of a BA in Theology and Religion.

Nathan Levy has been an integral part of my journey since the genesis of my secondary school experience. Not only has he been an instrument of consistent and relentless encouragement, but Nathan adopted the role of an older brother for me; Reminding me of my worth in times of pain, pushing me to ensure that I achieved my best academically, and persistently supporting my projects and endeavours. Nathan even insured my first car for me and was present at my graduation!

I am eternally indebted to the work and people of inspired futures, without which, I would not be where I am today. I value the love, support and encouragement that seeps out of everything that they stand for. I am extremely grateful.

As a fresh graduate, I am on track to take up a role in the banking and financial sector. I plan to remain within this stream for a few years in order to facilitate the development of my business acumen and corporate awareness. In addition to this, I am also the founder and director of a Community Internet Company by the name of Opened Palm. We develop and deliver bespoke workshops and life-skills sessions for children and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. Our mission is to give impetus to the educational, social and emotional life-chances of as many young people as life will allow!

In the near future, I plan to be a public influencer and represent the underrepresented in global corporations such as the United Nations.
