“I’m a strong advocate for including “experience” in the Sustainable Development Goals. Experience, often underestimated, has great potential to help people navigate tough situations. I call this underutilization “wastage of experiences.” While we say experience is the best teacher, I ask: Do we need to go through it ourselves, or can we learn from others? This motivates me to actively share my experiences.” — Temitope (2023)
“Approaching 35, I felt a mix of anxiety and pressure, considering it marked a decade since my fertility challenges began, including ovarian cysts and IVF treatments. The pressure stemmed from the perception that fertility declines after 35. These experiences fuel my initiative, aiming to instill hope in women. It’s important because, for some, one surgery may resolve their issues, which aren’t as complex as ours.” — Mo! (2023)
