Ibironke have
been able to successfully influence and impact her immediate and wider
community through free regular video on social media, providing useful and
adaptable information for the community to use as at when necessary
Her major accomplishment
can be considered to be the opportunity to challenge and encourage deeper
conversation around illness prevention within the Black community not just in
the UK but also other countries in Europe and some part of America. Being able
to offer alternative view on prevention of illnesses and self-care approaches
especially during the height of the COVID pandemic and the acceptance within
the community made me very proud.
Some of her
videos got wider coverage and was interviewed by the BBC, ITV, meeting with the
Shadow Home Secretary highlighting the plight of newly recruited Nurses from
Nigeria in particular and some of the challenges they had and being able to
submit possible solutions under the umbrella of the Nigerian Nurses Charitable
Organisation.

her major challenges, Ibironke said “As a Muslim woman, I have suffered some
personal Bias and isolation from women and in some instances even Men. It can
be tough sometimes to deal with the conflict of emotions and interests”
Ibironke 5

Massive expansion of Healthy YouandI brand to include more traditional African
food. To have her Healthy alternative food line in major supermarkets brands in
the UK and around the globe wherever Person of colour exists.

Khadeejah message for other women and upcoming ones is never to give in to
fear. Never be scared of being the lone voice, never be scared of challenging
the status quo through constructive engagement and communications.
We
must never stop learning or growing. And certainly, never underestimate the
power of networking. Identify like minds and engage them for continuous growth
and improvement. Finally, they must identify a mentor who can guide and support
their growth. Work well with a Mentor, it’s so crucial.
