We had over 200 registered attendees and the feedback we got from the audience absolutely blew me away – the topic definitely struck a chord with everyone there, whether personally for neurodivergent employees, or by increasing understanding for parents/ carers and line managers.

I really appreciated Ayo’s openness and encouragement to explore such a challenging and deeply personal topic. Her talk was authentic, engaging, and most importantly, provided reassurance and perspective. She put in a massive amount of effort to “pull back the curtains” on what all neurodivergent people go through internally on a daily basis, and provided her unique story and lessons learnt on how she copes with this.

Furthermore, her ability to stand up for what is right and shine a light on difficult topics such as this one are both qualities I aspire to emulate.

“Ayo offered a HUGE injection of energy into our Empower Women in Business programme. She was insightful, inspiring, relatable and left everyone feeling energised and motivated! Thank you so much Ayo! We will definitely be back for more”

Just finished watching Get Set Galatic. Very well-constructed fun, educational programme for kids. The role fitted your naturally exhuberant personality really well. You interacted well with the kids and your enjoyment of the programme was infectious.

你中文说的非常好！ You speak very good Chinese. Well done and keep going！

Well, what a wonderful evening you gave us! Who would have thought that sewers could be so  interesting?  Thank you so much for giving us such an enlightening talk, with excellent slides, clear descriptions and enthusiastic and very knowledgable commentary, plus all those numbers!

Brilliant talk. Ayo was so enthusiastic.

What a wonderful speaker !  Very dynamic, informative and entertaining. No nodding off there.

Last night’s lecture on Bazalgette’s London Sewerage System, which not only was interesting, but was given by one of the most mesmeric speakers we have ever had.  As the speaker was billed as a Civil Engineer, we thought we would be faced with a competent, if rather unexciting middle aged man from the Sewage works.  What we got was a young woman, totally on top of her subject, who spoke very well and surely captivated everyone with her smile, which we thought could light up any lecture theatre, or The London Sewers.  What a role model!

“Thank you so much, Ayo and organisers! I feel so inspired now”

“Thank you, Ayo!- a very interesting and thought-provoking presentation”

“Thank you so much, leaving the session feeling so inspired”

“Ayo was an excellent speaker for DVERSTY’s Intentional Engineering series, we were humbled to have her. She represented her experiences as a Chartered Civil Engineer and Councillor extremely well. Delivering her presentation so eloquently, Ayo gave our guests an insight into the DNA of Civil Engineering. We’d like to thank Ayo for encouraging everybody to use their ‘voice’ to challenge injustices seen in their environment.”

Ayo was a brilliant addition to our International Women’s Day celebrations, bringing infectious  energy, positivity and great insight. We’d recommend her to anyone looking for a warm, energetic and uplifting speaker for their event.

She did an incredible job (even in the face of Zoom sound difficulties) and we’ve all left the call with her positive energy ready to #choosetochallenge!

The most inspirational Civil Engineer I’ve met and I’m sure the pupils felt the same!
