About Me

Hey there! I am Oreoluwa Ojo, a Project Manager, Communications Strategist, and all-around Social Impact Enthusiast If it involves driving change, amplifying voices, and making systems work better, I’m all in!I wear many hats (figuratively… but also literally sometimes). As the Executive Director of Her Story Nigeria, I work to empower young people, champion gender equality, and tackle big issues like gender-based violence. On the flip side, with The Zentrum, I help nonprofits and changemakers structure their work, manage projects effectively, and tell their stories in ways that actually make people care.If you’re passionate about social impact, nonprofit leadership, or just making the world a little better, you’re in the right place! Let’s connect, collaborate, and create something meaningful together.

What I Do

I like to say I live at the intersection of social impact, project management, and powerful storytelling, because honestly, that’s where all the magic happens! I split my time between leading change at Her Story Nigeria and helping other nonprofits and changemakers do the same through The Zentrum. Here’s how:

At Her Story Nigeria (Founder & Executive Director)
I lead a youth-driven movement for gender equality, because young people aren’t just the future, we are the NOW. Through advocacy, education, and community engagement, we tackle issues like:
- Gender-Based Violence (GBV) – Raising awareness & driving policy action
- Youth Rights & Leadership – Empowering young people to be changemakers
- Inclusive Storytelling – Creating resources (like our upcoming GBV comic book!) in multiple Nigerian languages to reach diverse communities
- Community Dialogues & Trainings – Bringing real conversations about women's rights and gender equality to real people, where they are

At The Zentrum (Founder & Lead Consultant)
I help nonprofits, social enterprises, changemakers, and businesses structure their work, manage projects effectively, and communicate their impact in a way that actually gets people to care (and fund them!). If your organization is:
- Struggling to organize its programs (so many ideas, but no structure?)
- Finding it hard to engage volunteers (they come, they go, now what?)
- Not sure how to tell its story (hello, donor reports & grant applications!)
- Trying to scale but lacking the right systems (you need processes, not stress!)
…then we need to talk! I build systems, design strategies, and create compelling content that helps impact-driven organizations thrive.
