  • Zack Langway, VP of Alumni Relations at Brown University

    “ Odemi worked with our team at Brown University on social media strategy and content creation. She was a pleasure to work with and brought a high level of creativity and insight to her work. Odemi offered strong, thoughtful ideas to our team, jumping right in with enthusiasm and genuine interest in growing our community engagement. I'd absolutely recommend Odemi and would love to work with her again in the future!”

  • Felicity Lau, SR. Employee Experience Manager at coupa software

    “I loved partnering with Odemi during our time together at Coupa Software. In April 2021, Odemi had recently finalized her new book, "Force of Nature" and she honored us by reading an excerpt during our Earth Month x Autism Acceptance Month kickoff event. I so appreciated her strength to bring her whole self to work, in being an intersectional champion at Coupa, and in sharing this concept of divine feminine energy with our Coupa Village. Many Coupanians responded positively to her chat, and she received some of the best feedback for our Village Events that quarter. Her reading had sparked a movement, and a Slack Channel was even made in her honor by employees who were inspired to become a #ForceOfNature at Coupa. Odemi is a force to be reckoned with, an amazing speaker, author, and genuinely positive spirit, and I look forward to seeing what she accomplishes next. Anyone she partners with will not be disappointed by her quality of work and delivery.”

  • Suhas Sreedhar, Director of Content strategy at coupa software

    “Some of Odemi’s greatest strengths are her authenticity, honesty, and imagination, and she brings these into everything she takes up. Her imagination is especially powerful…Her enthusiasm for creating change in the world and her own immediate environment is infectious, and the way that she communicates with openness and confidence makes it easy to have genuine conversations with her…Odemi is a quick learner and astute at picking up on nuances and details, and that sharpness is also one of her greatest strengths. She is incredible self-aware…and she continues to find ways to encourage self-awareness in others, believing that ultimately, honesty and respect are at the heart of any great working relationship.”

    "Odemi was very thoughtful and mindful of the needs of my project. She has beautiful writing skills and was able to capture the message I wanted to convey in my article. Her work ethic is outstanding and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a writer or editor!"

  • Wassa Bagayoko, The Lambda Iota Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

    “Odemi facilitated a women's empowerment workshop for my organization. She is an incredibly talented speaker and facilitator; her activities and agenda were deeply engaging, even in a remote setting. I was inspired to ask Odemi to collaborate with us after participating in a similar workshop only weeks prior. The impact of her work and the activities moved me to ask her to work with my student group. Her work is a breath of fresh air, a much-needed reminder of one's inner strength during a challenging time like this. I cannot recommend her enough.”

  • Nini Kunu, Digital E-Commerce & CRM at L'Oreal Paris

    “I was lucky enough to have a conversation with Odemi about Imposter Syndrome for Magnify Magazine, and her contribution to the conversation was monumental. She was honest and vulnerable in sharing her experiences and gracious in her responses to the questions, offering practical tips in a way that encouraged our community to take action. Her unique ability to articulate her thought processes resonated deeply with our audience and there were so many takeaways. I’m beyond excited to follow her journey and to continue learning from her.”

    Force of Nature is a breath of fresh air. The blend of traditional ideologies with a refreshing outlook feels effortless. Pessu speaks with the authority of one who has lived in both times.”
