I love to meet people whose stories of philanthropy span the decades! Motunrayo Olaogun is one such person.
Motunrayo works for the Christian Dior fashion label. She is a philanthropist, and was an entrepreneur, founding the Ayo Van Elmar. fashion label which is no longer operational.
Gifted with incredible knowledge, Motunrayo was 10 years of age when she helped kids in her neighbourhood with their homework. This quickly grew into a passion to provide clothing and school uniforms for children whose families simply could not afford these items.
In this Episode of the Giving Black Podcast, Motunrayo and I speak about the convergence of fashion, faith, and philanthropy - her life passions. She shares her inspiring story about how philanthropy was sparked in her at a very young age, and is now exemplified through her current role as a cause focused donor, while building a legacy within Dior.
In our enthralling conversation, Motunrayo describes how there is a philanthropist within each of us. She observes, "There's always a place in our hearts to be givers", and "What you are looking for finds you".
