Ẹ nlẹ o! My name is Ruth Olayemi Adeniyi, and I’m from Ekiti State, Nigeria. I speak Yoruba, English, and French, and I believe one of the best ways to build intercultural understanding is through intentional engagement – sharing and learning from one another. I’m excited to share aspects of Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage, including its arts, entertainment, film industry, cuisine, and everyday practices, with members of the UW and Madison community, while also learning from their diverse experiences, with the hope of fostering cultural sensitivity and celebrating diversity.
