Some conversations don't happen out loud. This is where we have them.

Power. Leadership. Identity. Failure. Purpose. What it actually takes to create change.

Your host is Dr. Abiodun Durojaye. Call her AbyD.

She's spent nearly two decades in higher education and national nonprofits, helping people, and the systems around them, work better. What does that mean? She's been in the rooms where big decisions get made. And she's learned that the most important question isn't just, "What are we doing?" It's "Who is this really working for?"

She founded AsidaLove to help leaders build cultures rooted in accountability, belonging, and results that mean something. You might know her from her TEDx talk, "What Is Your Starbucks Name?", on identity, voice, and what it costs to shrink yourself to fit in.

No scripts. No polish. No pretending.

Because this isn't just a podcast. It's where leadership gets real.
