    11. Yinka Ayodele: "Don't worry about the future...you'd be wrong anyways."

    Yinka Ayodele has moved to new countries by herself multiple times over. Each time she prioritizes finding community. A successful and incredible feat considering she has lived on 3 different continents. A few years back, she started Ayodele Marketplace, a directory for fair trade clothing, which she hopes will make shopping consciously more accessible. Yinka is a kind soul and anyone who is lucky enough to be in her presence is immediately met with grace, love, and her unshakable faith.
