In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Yanique Brandford, founder and CEO of Help A Girl Out (HAGO), to explore her powerful journey of balancing career and purpose. Born into extreme poverty in Jamaica and now based in Toronto, Yanique shares how her transition to Canada helped shape her identity, ignited her passion for education, and sparked a mission to break cycles of poverty.
As a Biomedical Physics graduate from Toronto Metropolitan University—and the only Black woman in her program—Yanique defied the odds in both academic and social spaces. She opens up about navigating her STEM career while building a purpose-
driven nonprofit aimed at ending menstrual poverty and stigma.
Though HAGO is a key part of her story, this conversation dives deeper into how Yanique’s personal and academic triumphs reflect a larger story of resilience, identity, and the call to transform pain into purpose. Her voice is a testament to what’s possible when you commit to creating change for the next generation.

The question “What is my purpose?” is one of the most quietly echoed yet deeply felt questions of our time. Many of us yearn to know and live out our God-given purpose, but the noise of life, past experiences, and inner doubts can blur that calling. In this episode, I’m joined by Abi Adekitan—an experienced HR professional, certified resilience trainer, and relationship coach—for a powerful conversation on how purpose is revealed through the lens of identity.
Abi shares insights on how a confused or fragmented identity can hold us back, and offers practical tools to reconnect with who God originally designed us to be. We also explore how healing, self-discovery, and faith play a vital role in uncovering purpose. Abi brings over 16 years of experience in the healthcare and non-profit sectors, and recently released her new book, 160 Ways to Say I Do, Again. Tune in to be inspired, encouraged, and reminded that your true identity holds the key to your divine purpose.
