From the highest echelons of global tech firms to the heart of grassroots movements for gender justice, Damilola has forged a powerful reputation as a bold and influential voice. She stands at the crucial intersection of technology, finance, and feminism, and in doing so, she's not just playing the game—she’s rewriting the entire playbook.
🚀 A Multi-Layered Powerhouse
Damilola is the Co-founder of the Feminist Coalition, a non-profit organization dedicated to advocating for the rights, safety, and political empowerment of Nigerian women. The Coalition gained global prominence during the #EndSARS movement, where Damilola and her fellow co-founders harnessed the power of technology to mobilize decentralized funding and establish secure, transparent channels to support protesters.
Yet, this is just one facet of her mission. Damilola is also a dedicated Web3 advocate and formerly served as the Head of Public Relations for Binance Africa, a role in which she tirelessly promoted the adoption of blockchain and cryptocurrency across the continent. She is deeply committed to providing African women with essential financial tools and digital literacy, ensuring they are not left behind in the unfolding fourth industrial revolution.

Her influence was further cemented when she was named one of Forbes Africa’s 30 Under 30 in 2021. Beyond these accolades, her true legacy lies in her community-centered approach to innovation. Whether through her involvement in NFT projects or Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), she continues to explore how Web3 can be leveraged to drive equity, advocacy, and financial access for marginalized groups.
💡 A Future Driven by Purpose
Whether she’s mentoring aspiring women in tech, spearheading advocacy campaigns, or consulting on crypto education, Damilola operates with a singular, powerful clarity: technology must be a tool that serves the people.
