IN SHORT

After working as a corporate lawyer, Ayisha Osori’s life took a professional twist when she was offered an opportunity to take her expertise beyond the legal field and into communications. The resulting momentum has led her to participate in elevating equality in her country through the Nigerian Women’s Trust Fund. “Don’t let anybody tell you that you can’t do something. All my life I’ve been told I couldn’t do this or do that – I’ve heard it so many times and yet I went out and did what I supposedly couldn’t do. Listen to all the advice you can get, and then follow your gut.”
