Dr. Tunde Okewale OBE

Home From Home” signifies a place or community where I feel a profound sense of belonging and comfort, akin to my native home. It is a supportive environment where my cultural roots and personal values are embraced and celebrated, providing a sanctuary that nurtures growth, connection, and a strong sense of identity.

Naija no dey carry last! I am Naija to the core and the Nigerian in me oozes out of every pore. I celebrate being Nigerian by being the best version of me.

A key takeaway from the HfH project for me is the chance to connect with outstanding Nigerians who are making significant contributions both in Nigeria and the UK. Their achievements underscore the positive impact Nigerians have on their communities globally.
