Enioluwa Adeoluwa, her daughter, shared her pride on LinkedIn, writing, “That’s resilience. That’s strength. That’s the unwavering backbone she’s always been, even in the quiet moments when no one was watching, she showed up for herself.”
Dr. Bola Adeoluwa’s story serves as a powerful reminder that age is no barrier to education and that determination and perseverance can turn lifelong dreams into reality.
She is now celebrated as a mother, mentor, and trailblazer, inspiring countless others to pursue their ambitions, no matter the challenges.
