Olayinka is a tremendous leader for the social and racial justice movement who brings the entrepreneurial spirit needed to innovate and design new solutions for a better tomorrow. I've had the pleasure of working with her in the past and does a great job making space for people to be their authentic selves.

Ryan Honeyman

I cannot recommend Olayinka highly enough. We worked together for several years as Co-Founders of the Dismantle Collective. Olayinka is a "true entrepreneur" in that she is a problem solver, a leader, very resourceful and has tireless dedication to achieving her goals. At the same time, she is empathetic, emotionally intelligent, attentive, and compassionate. I can't wait to work with her again on some new projects!
