• Ola Adegbenro - Colourful Beginnings
    Jun 30 2023
    A cuppa with Ola Adegbenro, founder of Colourful Beginnings, a charity that supports families with premature and sick babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Ola is a Preemie Parent Coach, Charity Founder, Social Entrepreneur, and Public Speaker.

    We chat about her childhood growing up in Nigeria, family holidays in the UK, and her move to the UK when she was 15 to finish her higher education.

    Ola speaks about how, when she gave birth to her first daughter at 21 weeks, the lack of support, and information she received whilst going through her NICU journey. This spurred Ola on to start the charity Colorful Beginnings, so that other parents would have a community, knowledge, and support network, during their own NICU journeys.
