Welcome to The Wise Why! In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Yemi Elegunde, whose life story is truly inspirational. Despite challenges with dyslexia and dyspraxia, Yemi shares his remarkable journey from Nigeria to the UK and his experiences in IT for over 35 years. Yemi's childhood was marked by sudden relocations, leaving behind memories and embarking on a journey to shape his life. From the vibrant colours of Ghana to the clay roads of Nigeria, Yemi recounts his unique experiences and the surreal feeling of landing in a foreign land that became his home for fourteen years. His story delves into the complexities of family dynamics, international parental child abduction, and the challenges of growing up under unusual circumstances. Yemi shares poignant moments from his childhood, including the inseparable bond with his sister and their brave encounters during a burglary in Nigeria. As an adoptee, Yemi breaks the silence on children's perspectives on adoption and parental abduction, shedding light on overlooked yet crucial aspects. He discusses his books, "Time Will Tell" and "Becoming What You Believe," offering insights into success, breaking barriers, and self-advocacy in the IT industry. Yemi also reveals his unexpected journey into launching TWT Consulting Services, a venture focused on providing IT solutions and business development expertise. He also shares his experiences mentoring individuals and guiding aspiring authors through Amazon Kingdom Publishing. The video concludes with a special Q&A session, where Yemi opens up about his podcast journey, overcoming introversion, and the surprising revelation about his biological father.
