Our Story
The Mikaelson Initiative was born from a deeply personal struggle. Our founder, Oluwasegun Olukayode, discovered a critical problem that was holding him back as both a student and an individual - procrastination, losing focus, and lacking a structured, purposeful life. These challenges were not just academic setbacks; they were barriers that prevented him from reaching his full potential and living the impactful life he envisioned.
Recognizing that he wasn't alone in this struggle, Oluwasegun realized that countless other African students were facing the same challenges - brilliant minds being held back by lack of structure, focus, and intentional personal development. This realization sparked a mission to create something bigger than himself.
What began as one person's journey to overcome procrastination and build a focused, structured life has evolved into a movement reaching thousands of students across multiple universities. Today, the Mikaelson Initiative represents hope, possibility, and action - transforming not just individuals, but building a better Africa, one student at a time.
