HI! HOLA! HALLO!
I am Ayooluwa Adebolu (THEADEAYO). Welcome to my SPACEš„°š!
I’m super stoked to have you here and to share this space with youš„ŗš!
I love talking, which often leads to me writing a lot. I tend to be super expressive because I want to be as detailed as possible. However, Iām learning that sometimes, too many details can come across as over-explaining, so using contextualĀ filters is great!
I have a knack for engaging with people, sharing my experiences, and learning about othersā personal journeys. For me, this helps to build relatability and makes memories stick. Driven by a desire to make an impact, especially for those I may never meet, I began writing about my thoughts and insights on various subjects in 2017. You can READ HERE.
Anyway, I’m beyond excited to have my personal space (read : website) and can’t wait to see the growth and impact that might come from thisš.
Incase you were wondering, “THEADEAYO” is a playful blend of the first three letters of my first name and surname. It literally translates to “THE CROWN OF JOY” š. I like to believe that I am a star girl “con una Forza Grande de Luz”āa mix of English, Spanish, and Italian that means “with a great force of light” š¤.
You might think Iām a bit extra š, and youāre right! But thatās just part of my charm. Anyway, letās dive into all the fun details about me š.

FUN FACT:Ā
Iām proudly and forever ‘team solo,’ finding joy in doing things independently especially things “normally” done in pairsāwhether itās running, exploring, or just having a good time. I genuinely enjoy my own company. That said, I strongly believe that lifeās best moments are meant to be shared. Iām all about ensuring that everyone in my circle/ team feels included and valued. Even when Iām going solo, I make it a point to look out for others, making sure no one is left behind and that every experience, big or small, feels like a shared victory.
MY MANTRA
My mantra is simple: Normal is Boring. I choose to live an extraordinary life that challenges conventions while maintaining its sanity. This philosophy has sparked my creativity and helped me to think outside the box, always seeking a betterāthough sometimes less conventionalāapproach. By embracing this mindset and staying within legal and practical limits, Iāve been able to explore innovative solutions and discover unique experiences.
Now, while my mantra is āNormal is Boring,ā I do indulge in normalcy when it comes to foodābecause nobody wants an upset stomach, right? š.
MY INTERESTS
I consider myself a multi-faceted individualš¤ driven by a passion for a wide range of interests. I believe in exploring everything life has to offer, whether it’s through my love for travel, my fascination with food, my appreciation for colors and light, or my commitment to social impact. I enjoy the richness that diversity brings to lifeš.
In my professional realm, Iām on an exciting SOMEDIFINTECH JOURNEY. My career is a blend of technology and finance, where I continuously seek innovative solutions and impactful growth. Curious to know more about how these interests intersect with my career?
VOLUNTEERING
Although I volunteer for couple of NGOs, ALABIAMO FOUNDATION is an NGO close to my heart especially because it’s health focused. The organization is dedicated to providing antenatal care to pregnant women in the slum communities of Lagos, Nigeria. I joined the foundation in May 2021 as a Health Recorder and currently volunteer as the Social Media Manager and Project Accountant.
