Biography:

Idowu Adeogun, 39 years old - Urban and Inner-City Program (double major) graduating 2020

I am an immigrant from Nigeria, hoping to learn, gain and add to my knowledge. I have a desire to help communities and I am very happy that I am one of the successful participants in YouthUnited@Winnipeg this year. This is an opportunity for me to learn more about Truth and Reconciliation, to rectify the legacy of residential schools, and understand the impact of colonization on Indigenous Peoples. Also, reducing inequality in the communities is one of my priorities because inequality hurts a lot. My goal is to be productive and have a positive impact in communities because my future career is Community/Social Programming.
