A rising voice in Nigeria’s new generation of political thinkers and development advocates, Toluwani Rita Ojo-Lanre Olusoga, Vice President of the Emerging Political Leaders Fellowship (EPLF), has been announced as one of the speakers at the prestigious Storytelling Bootcamp, holding on October 31, 2025.
The event, powered by the She Thrives Foundation, brings together young policy influencers, social innovators, and digital storytellers under the theme “Empowering Young Mobile Creators for World Toilet Day 2025.”
Toluwani Ojo-Lanre Olusoga, who also serves as the Founder of Lumina Leaders, will be speaking on the topic: “Policy Innovations for Youth-Driven Social Impact in Nigeria.”
Her session will focus on how storytelling can be harnessed as a tool to bridge the gap between policy formation and youth participation, especially in driving sustainable social impact across education, health, and environmental advocacy sectors.
A product of Ekiti State and a proud Nigerian youth ambassador, Toluwani Ojo-Lanre Olusoga represents a growing class of women whose passion, intellect, and vision are reshaping narratives around governance, leadership, and inclusion. Through her engagements with Lumina Leaders and the EPLF, she continues to mentor emerging changemakers and policy advocates dedicated to building a transparent, people-centered Nigeria.
Speaking on her upcoming session, she expressed optimism about the potential of youth-driven ideas in transforming governance:
“Our generation must take ownership of Nigeria’s policy space. Innovation, empathy, and storytelling are the bridges that connect policy to people. Real change begins when stories move from conversation to legislation,” she said.
As a thought leader and social impact advocate, Toluwani has consistently used her voice to promote inclusive governance, youth engagement, and policy innovation — principles that align with the mission of the Emerging Political Leaders Fellowship and Nigeria’s broader youth empowerment agenda.
Her appearance at the Storytelling Bootcamp not only reaffirms her commitment to transformative leadership but also shines a spotlight on Ekiti State as a cradle of visionary youths making global waves through creativity, intellect, and impact.
