About the Millennium Fellow
Faith Owolabi is a Nigerian girl that was fortunate to be born to parents who were not afraid to show her the harsh economic reality of the country they lived in. At a young age, she had begun saving up whatever money she received as a gift or allowance to buy her favourite things during the holidays and practiced delayed gratification in her own little way. Her interest in the finance world only grew as she took Economics as an elective course and aced the subject in the O'Level Cambridge exams in secondary school. Now a 3rd-year medical student, she is a Cowrywise Campus Ambassador and is more fueled and knowledgeable to help her peers master wealth building beyond mere savings and short-lived delayed gratification.
