She has over ten years of experience as a staff and board member of a variety of non-profit organizations. She headed business development for the American Bar Association’s Rule of Law Initiative. Adaku was also the deputy director of advancement at the Atlantic Council. The Atlantic Council is a leading foreign policy think tank.

We discuss Adaku’s childhood, with a father who raised her to be a feminist. He raised her to never put up with anything that she did not have to.
We talk about Adaku’s journey to her current career and move from the U.S back to Nigeria.
I love Adaku’s response when I ask for her definition of success.
Adaku mentions the book "So Long a Letter" by Mariama Bâ.
