I interview Feyi Odukoya a social entrepreneur determined to motivate people to walk in their purpose and monetize their gifts. After starting her first business at the age of 13, Feyi became passionate about discovering how to best use her gifts & talents to touch the lives of others. Motivated by an encounter with an 8-year-old battling self-esteem issues, Feyi quit her job as an auditor in order to fully focus on Project Beautify You, Inc. (PBY Inc.), a leadership development program for middle and high school girls from underserved communities. Over the next few years, PBY Inc. would reach hundreds of girls and help them matriculate from secondary school to college. Feyi’s passion for entrepreneurship and encouraging people to live a life of purpose led her to create The SideHustlepreneur, a platform designed to help everyday people monetize their skills and hobbies. She was selected as a National Ambassador for Procter & Gamble’s My Black is Beautiful initiative, honored as DMV Top 30 under 30 by 93.9 WKYS, and Prince George’s County 40 under 40. Feyi’s work has also been featured in O Magazine, Essence, Ebony, Black Enterprise magazine and more. A Maryland native and first-generation Nigerian, Feyi looks forward to helping more individuals actualize their full potential. IG: @TheSideHustlepreneur Website: www.thesidehustlepreneur.com
