Outlook Inspirations nominee Seyi Oluyole is transforming disadvantaged young lives in Nigeria through her dance group 'Dream Catchers'.  It's made up of children from one of the poorest neighbourhoods in Lagos. To join Dream Catchers, the children make a deal - they agree to go to school and stick with their studies. If you're not learning - you're not dancing. Her work and the children's moves have caught the attention of some big names like Rihanna and Naomi Campbell after Seyi posted videos of the children dancing online.
