What happens when African spirituality informs how we build AI?
On February 7th at 3:00 PM EST, Olayemi “Yemi” Olorunsola enters The King’s Circle for a conversation that stretches across time — from ancestral wisdom to future innovation.
Yemi is a Yoruba scientist, geologist, and IT expert working at the powerful intersection of African spirituality, wellness, AI, and technology. Her work challenges the idea that progress must come at the expense of soul, culture, or community.
In this conversation, this brilliant Nigerian scientist will break down:
✨ How African spirituality supports healing, emotional clarity, and alignment
✨ How AI and tech can be used intentionally to empower rather than extract
✨ What it means to build the future while staying rooted in ancestral intelligence
Her impact speaks volumes:
🔥 Finalist in the NCWIT AiC Competition for creating an AI-powered mental health app for women
🔥 Semifinalist in the Nebraska Governor’s New Venture Competition for designing a tech-enabled environmental cleanup service
At the heart of her work is a commitment to equity, emotional clarity, and empowering underrepresented communities.
This is more than a talk. It’s a reframing of what innovation can be.
📌 Set your reminder. Be in the room. The King’s Circle is where wisdom meets the future.
