I'm Just One Yorùbá Girl
Mọ̀lẹ́bí,
My name is Morẹ́nikéjì Akínnúsì Olówóyọtán and I am many things.
By profession, I am a Yorùbá Linguist and Marketing Communications Writer with 4+ years of experience in content/copy writing. I have worked with top brands to develop and execute leading consumer-driven campaigns.
I am also a Master of Arts in Yorùbá Literature from the University of Lagos State, Nigeria, with research experience in African Feminism in contemporary female-authored Yorùbá literature.
Out of many other favourite things (writing, reading, cooking, singing, praying), my most favourite thing in the whole world is silence. But, I live in Nigeria, so, go figure.
Most of all, I love to play with words and consciously change the attitude of millennials towards Yorùbá language and culture with my brand, One Yorùbá Girl.
In the next pages, you will be introduced to everything I know how to do. I can do more, but great things take time. And so, I will do more. With time.
I especially want you to register for my Yorùbá Beginners' Course. If not for you, do it for someone you know. I am sure you know a Yorùbá person close to you who doesn't know how to speak their mother tongue. That person who says they are Yorùbá, whilst speaking the same Yorùbá as if chewing hot yam. Yes. Send them to this website pretty please. 😌
Also, you HAVE to listen to my podcast! And read my blog articles. And follow my social media pages... Okay, just get to know this Yorùbá Girl. 💃🏿
If you swipe left twice, you'll get to my stash of FREE Yorùbá language lessons. Don't let them go to waste, I have made them available to you at no cost just because I love you.

Sometimes, I'm okay.
Most times, I'm not.
