Onyinye Udokporo is an author, entrepreneur, educator, public speaker, and pioneer of social mobility. Onyinye is deeply passionate about education and began her tuition business Enrich Learning, aged 12. With the moral support of her parents, Onyinye began to provide the most affordable tuition in London from her parent’s living room.

READ MOREOnyinye’s book tells the tale of her journey as a black dyslexic woman. Onyinye was formally diagnosed with dyslexia aged 11 after many years of struggling with her spelling and reading. Whilst the diagnosis brought her parents and herself comfort because they finally knew what her challenges are and how to combat them, the diagnosis also created an unbearable sense of anxiety for Onyinye. After 4 years of Neurolinguistic Programming and extensive support from teaching and learning support professionals whilst at school, Onyinye grew to know that dyslexia is her superpower. She strongly believes that had she been shown someone who looks a bit more like her who also has dyslexia, her confidence would have grown which would have propelled her to greater success...
Onyinye believes strongly in the power of storytelling. Being dyslexic means that it is not always convenient for her to read the stories of incredible people she admires. In a bid to increase accessibility, Onyinye is developing a new video podcast where she will be interviewing people from all walks of life. These interviews will draw out a wide range of stories that Onyinye hopes will inspire and uplift people. She also hopes that this podcast will encourage viewers and listeners to share their own personal stories unapologetically.
More information on the podcast coming soon.
