Born prematurely at 29 weeks as triplets, Ayo was the only one of three babies that survived after birth. At about ten years old, Ayo finally learned the tragic story of how her mother lost her two brothers and almost her own life because of the inadequate medical resources at the hospital in Nigeria. Unfortunately, it is the same story for many families in Nigeria as most hospitals in Nigeria lack primary health care resources, which has led to millions of preventable deaths like her brothers. This bitter experience surrounding her birth became the driving force that led her to a career in healthcare and her involved in community service.
