“What is the worth of human life without impacting the lives of others?” I think about this question constantly as I continue this journey as a change agent. Devastating experiences with childbirth losses propelled my journey to the diaspora. While in the diaspora, I encountered life and death experiences and obtained education and skill training to work with individuals, families, groups, and communities to improve their coping skills in society and mental health functioning.

The family history of losses due to diabetes and cancer was an added motivator to develop this program. My life experiences birthed the mission and vision of Anike-Titilayo Hope Center (A-THC). While A-THC is not designed to treat individuals with health conditions, it can provide preventative health education and promote wellness in physical and mental health, link individuals to community resources, and empower those who have lost hope.

My education and work experience as a Clinical Social Worker/Mental Health Counselor and an Educator with a Ph.D. in Health Services/Community Health played a major role in the actualization of this dream. In addition, many years of practice in various settings and with interdisciplinary teams enhanced my knowledge of working with individuals, groups, families, communities, and organizations in diverse settings. This background provided me with the tools needed to bring together everyone who can contribute their resources, skills, and talents to the improvement of the lives of the vulnerable people in our society.

A-THC program was partly inspired by the losses of my dear late family, Madam J.O. Anike Ogunjimi, Chief Mathew Femi Ogunjimi, and Mrs. Mary Abosede Abioye, who positively impacted my life.

To the Most High be all the Glory for making me His tool.
