A Yoruba princess from Osun State in Nigeria who relocated to the US in 2017, Folake Phillips (a.k.a. Folake Oyetunji) founded AWỌ in response to the death of George Floyd at the hands of the Minnesota police and the Black Lives Matter street protests that erupted during the US COVID-19 pandemic of 2020.
Raised in Nigeria with deep Yoruba cultural roots and educated at Coventry University in the UK with a Bachelor of Arts in Marketing Management, Folake Phillips is a Christian, wife, currently a mother of one and a community organiser.
Though her career has spanned the fields of marketing, human resources, strategy and corporate client hospitality with multinational clients where she also organised, managed and facilitated various symposiums, public seminars and leadership trainings, her recent nonprofit work operates with a fierce urgency of now and collective solutions to civil matters as inspired by Martin Luther King Jr.
She enjoys international travel, meeting people from different cultural backgrounds and FOOD. Yass!
