On episode 37, we have our youngest ever guest on the show!  Teenager Dade Adeniyi, comes on to inspire and prove that no one is ever too young to make a difference.

Dade at age 15, like regular teens loves to dance, act, make music and create new things. However, that is not all there is to her. Having sadly been a victim of bullying at her secondary school, Dade decides to not only speak up for herself, but also champion an Anti-Bullying movement by authoring a book called CALM DOWN when she was just 14, to help change the narrative of bullying in Secondary Schools in Lagos and further afield.

Dade, who I consider to be one of the bright lights of her generation, literally gives life to the expression, 'when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade'. She exemplifies what it means to Live Unscathed and proves that indeed we all have what it takes to manifest our highest selves regardless of circumstance or age.

This episode will inspire you to not only stand up for what you believe is right, but to also go beyond and make a difference so that others can also benefit.
