ASKDPROS - S2E24 - Kehinde Osotimehin-Olorunleke
She started her journey as a little girl who always believed in her rights but was massively guided by her dad whom she refers to as her hero. Studying Law didn’t come without its difficulties but having a father who didn't take 'no' for an answer played a huge part while she was in Law School. Kehinde’s passion for style and fashion made her venture into the art of clothes making which gave her the opportunity to turn that passion into the fashion brand we know today as Belledjourcouture. Hope you get inspired.

ASKDPROS - S2E20 - Francis Osime
ASKDPROS - S2E19 - Matthew Norford (Ex-Gang Leader)
First we need to accept the above facts and then we need to educate everyone in not brushing everyone with the same brush. A child born to a underprivileged family, in a neighbourhood where crime is rife, where opportunities are rare, where kids are measured by their clans, their gangs, their achievements in terms of which gang they associate with and how much they have achieved in this hierarchy. How can a child break this cycle? Where are the opportunities for him/her? Every child is innocent and their surroundings and circumstances mould their attitudes and behaviours. We cannot and should not lay the entire blame at the feet of such people who have fallen victim to his upbringing. My guest on this episode is a prime example of what happens when you are born into a system where opportunities are rare and privilege is not something you are given but an entity that has to be fought for.
