Adenike Olanrewaju knows first hand what it feels like to be overlooked and to have her story told by someone who doesn't look like or fully understand her - instead of sitting back and doing nothing, she founded AYO (Joy in Yoruba), a digital magazine and international meeting place for black women to share honest and relevant stories in their voice.

AYO is a labor of love that Adenike hopes will be a wellspring of cultural examinations and celebration; a place where various kinds of black women can exist and find joy wherever they are. Press play and be inspired to be the change you want to see today.
