Ladi’s talk focused on her own experiences, starting with her childhood in Nigeria, where as one of a very poor family of 13 she sold bean cakes on the streets of Jos, to her high school education sponsored by the Commonwealth Countries League Education Fund, and ultimately to her studying for a Masters Degree in Management.
