The L.E.A.D Project 3.0 Educational Outreach delivered an inspiring message of resilience and leadership to public secondary school students, as Mrs. Yinka Ogunde, CEO of Edumark Consult and a trustee of S.M.I.L.E, urged them to “push beyond limits, step out of every limiting belief, embrace leadership, and thrive in every aspect of life.”
Speaking through Ms. Adekunbi Ogunde, Mrs. Ogunde delivered a powerful keynote address titled Beyond Limits: Learn, Lead, and Thrive.
She encouraged students to break free from self-doubt and societal constraints, emphasizing that success is achievable through determination and leadership.
To reinforce her message, she shared the remarkable story of her husband, Mr. Oluwemimo Ogunde, SAN, Principal Counsel at Latterhouse Chambers.
Despite losing his mother at the tender age of 12, he persevered through life’s hardships, remaining steadfast in his pursuit of excellence. His journey from adversity to becoming a Senior Advocate of Nigeria serves as a compelling testament to resilience and the power of unwavering determination.
The annual outreach program by S.M.I.L.E continues to equip young minds with the motivation and tools to excel academically and beyond, fostering a generation of future leaders committed to breaking barriers and achieving greatness.
