030: Miracle Olatunji, Student, Author & Social Impact Entrepreneur

Guest Miracle Olatunji is the youngest person to appear on Boston Speaks Up, only 19 years old at the time of recording. Olatunji embodies the aspiration of Boston to nurture a more diverse, mission-driven class of social impact entrepreneurs. Currently a student at Northeastern University, Olatunji works as the Director of Innovation of the student organization Thrive, whose mission is to empower students through financial literacy programs and support student-led entrepreneurial projects and ventures. While in high school, Olatunji founded OpportuniMe, an award-winning education organization which democratized access to summer learning opportunities for high school youth, enabling them to develop lifelong leadership skills and build their network. Along with her main ventures into innovation, Olatunji has been honored as a Young Global Leadership Scholar, Youth Entrepreneur Of The Year, and a ‘Woman To Watch’ -- among many more impressive accolades. And if that wasn’t enough, she is the author of Purpose: How To Live and Lead With Impact.
