Jeremiah Ajayi
Jeremiah is a marketer, builder, and career empowerment advocate. Over the last few years, he has created platforms like Digivention, Write to Win, and The Phat Enterprise, each focused on helping overlooked talent thrive.
Through this work, he’s met many queer professionals navigating bias and burnout in silence. That experience, paired with his own, led him to co-found EmpowerQ: a focused effort to provide queer people with the tools they need to succeed in the workplace.
Outside of EmpowerQ, Jeremiah works in marketing and mentors young creatives looking to find their voice.
