“Dyslexia is a learning difference. There’s nothing difficult about it. You have challenges, but you’re not a difficult individual.”

In our final episode in this specialist advice series, we’re joined by Onyinye Udokporo, one of the UK’s youngest education experts, entrepreneur, dyslexic author, neurodiversity consultant and content creator.

Onyinye’s entrepreneurial journey started when she was only 12 years old, when she began tutoring children and young people from her local community in her parent’s living room.

Following her own diagnosis with Dyslexia, she became an author of ‘Dyslexia and Me: How to survive and thrive if you’re neurodivergent’ and started her own Neurodiversity Consulting firm in 2022, where she delivers training and workshops as well as consulting services to businesses including Google and the BBC.

Today we’ll dive into her entrepreneurial journey, from day one in her parent’s living room to using AI for good, and everything in between.
