HERstory: ​​Deborah Olatunji

Welcome back to the She Shall Speak Series! We are excited to kick off the second episode of our HERstory series, a collection of stories of young Black women and girls who are leading the way for positive social change in their communities. Today, we will be talking with Deborah Olatunji! ​​Deborah Olatunji (she/her) is a 19-year-old Nigerian-American storyteller, writer, and visual artist from Delaware. She hosts a hit talk show, called the Voices of Disruption Podcast, all about finding glory in the mystery, growing into much-needed change, and leading culture shifts (available on all platforms). As a sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania, she studies Psychology and Comparative Literature. Deb enjoys storytelling, fashion, graphic design, and journaling. She loves XL hoodies with big words and the emotional-stretching card game We’re Not Really Strangers. Find her work (@deb_olatunji) and on her website at deboraholatunji.com! Tune in to hear us discuss education reform in K-12 academia, youth authorship, the power of storytelling, and more!
