Dear Friend!

I'm Solace Ojotule

My story is one of resilience, determination, and the power of education to change lives. I grew up in a small community in Kogi State, Nigeria, where my mother—an incredibly strong widow—raised me. From a young age, I was made to feel that, as a girl, I somehow mattered less in a society that favored boys.

When my father passed away, things became even harder. His siblings unjustly seized his property, leaving my family without our inheritance and forcing us into a life of struggle. The simplest things became luxuries. But in the midst of all that, I discovered the value of education. Despite the financial difficulties, I was determined to keep going. I made it through primary, secondary, and even undergraduate education, no matter how tough it got. And when I set my sights on a Master’s degree, I worked tirelessly to find scholarships. In 2021, I earned the prestigious Mastercard Foundation Scholarship, which allowed me to study Africa and International Development at the University of Edinburgh. That experience changed my life—it not only gave me knowledge but sparked a deep desire to give back and help others.

Today, I feel proud of how far I’ve come. Every goal I set, I’ve achieved, but more importantly, I’ve learned that my journey is about more than just me.

As a communications expert, I help brands and organizations tell their stories in ways that truly connect with people. It’s not just about getting a message out there—it’s about making sure it resonates with the right audience. I love that I get to help shape narratives that matter.

I’m also passionate about helping others access education. As a scholarship coach, I work with people who are searching for the financial support they need to pursue their dreams. Education opened so many doors for me, and I’m committed to breaking down the barriers that keep others from having the same opportunities.

In the digital space, I’ve built a community of over 30,000 followers across TikTok and YouTube. Through my content, I share stories, insights, and ideas that inspire conversation and, hopefully, inspire change. It’s been incredible to see the impact that these platforms can have.

Lastly, I’m deeply involved in advocacy work, especially when it comes to women, girls, and the environment. Through my work with EMTAG Foundation, I fight for a world where women and girls have the freedom to live without discrimination and injustice. I also work to protect our environment so that future generations can thrive.

At the heart of everything I do is a simple belief: we’re all capable of making a difference. My journey is proof that even in the face of hardship, we can rise above and create something meaningful—not just for ourselves, but for others too.
