Meet Our Team
Yoruba Division
Meet Àbíkẹ́ Ṣówẹ̀mímọ́, the lead behind our Yorùbá Division, dedicated to cherishing and sharing the diverse richness of Yorùbá culture.
As a Nigerian American, Àbíkẹ́ passionately believes that culture forms the bedrock for the generations to come. Her dedication stems from the profound understanding that history and traditions are not only artifacts but the lifeblood of our community.
Maintaining the vitality of the Yorùbá language and culture, especially in the diaspora, is paramount. Àbíkẹ́ is driven by the conviction that neglecting our cultural practices poses a risk of losing a part of our identity. It's more than just language; it's about preserving our values, stories, and ways of life.
Central to our approach is the meticulous attention we pay to the nuances of teaching the Yorùbá language. We recognize the significance of proper grammar, spelling, and intonation, especially in a tonal language like Yorùbá. Our Yorùbá Flashcards serve as a bridge, empowering individuals in the diaspora to reconnect with their roots and language.
What truly sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to ensuring the authentic preservation of the Yorùbá language and culture. Our focus extends beyond just teaching; it encompasses a heartfelt dedication to nurturing literacy within the Yorùbá community. We strive to instill a deep appreciation and understanding, ensuring that all learners embrace the beauty and significance of the Yorùbá culture.
Join us in this journey of rediscovery, as we not only learn but also safeguard and honor the depth of Yorùbá culture. Let's work together to uphold our traditions for the generations to come.
