Behind this transformative organisation stands its original force: Ehinor — the first Wonderfully Made Woman.
She is the founder and driving presence behind Wonderfully Made Woman, an organisation that doesn’t just support women — it equips them, challenges them, and pushes them to rise. She leads with a confidence that isn’t taught. It’s forged — through experience, clarity, and purpose.
A New Chapter, Authored by Determination
Originally a practising barrister and solicitor in Nigeria, Ehinor’s journey to the UK wasn’t about escape — it was about possibility. It came with disruption, certainly — family shifts, immigration battles, doors that stayed closed for years. But throughout it all, she remained forward-facing.
When people began asking how she was managing — how she was finding her footing again — she listened. And then she acted.
What started as informal chats with a handful of women soon evolved into something far greater: a community, a support network, a movement. In 2011, Wonderfully Made Woman was born.
Where Confidence is Currency
The organisation began in her own home — her living room cleared to make space for breakfast meetings where women could talk freely. No agenda. No judgement. Just presence, connection, and real conversations.
Those sessions grew. So did the women. And with them, so did the mission.
“We support women and girls — whether they’ve experienced abuse, isolation, trauma, or are simply seeking something more,” Ehinor explains.
Today, Wonderfully Made Woman delivers:
- Confidence-building programmes and one-to-one mentoring
- Dance therapy, sewing, bead-making, and literacy classes
- Culturally sensitive public health campaigns and cancer awareness
- Translation services in Pidgin English and other African dialects
- A weekly radio show with over 21,000 listeners
- Tailored outreach through churches, mosques, markets, and high streets
It’s a model built not on charity, but transformation.
“It’s not just about support — it’s about renewal. Rediscovering the version of yourself that’s been waiting.”
Leadership that Commands Respect
Ehinor’s leadership style is direct, strategic, and unflinching. She doesn’t ask for space — she creates it. During the pandemic, while many centres closed their doors, Wonderfully Made Woman stayed open six days a week. They sourced culturally appropriate food. Translated confusing guidelines. Showed up.
“We fill the gaps no one else sees. That’s what makes us different.”
She leads by example. She trains other women to become public speakers, radio hosts, entrepreneurs — not to represent her, but to represent themselves. Many now run their own community projects. Some are educators, healthcare workers, and leaders in their own right.
And through it all, the message remains clear: confidence isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity.
Power to Prosper: Amplifying What Already Exists
As a contributor to the Power to Prosper campaign, Ehinor is less interested in slogans and more focused on solutions.
“It’s time we stop repeating what’s wrong and start stating what we want. What change are we actually demanding?”
Her vision includes:
- Greater employment equity for migrant and Black women
- Accessible resources designed with cultural relevance
- Purpose-built Wonderfully Made Centres for long-term support
- More women in strategic, decision-making roles — not just as beneficiaries, but as architects
She sees Power to Prosper as a way to formalise what her organisation has already mastered: community engagement that works, because it listens first.
No Noise, Just Impact
Ehinor doesn’t lead for applause — she leads for change. Her work challenges systems, fills gaps, and builds lasting infrastructure where none existed.
Wonderfully Made Woman isn’t a project. It’s a force — reshaping what support, leadership, and empowerment look like for women and girls across communities.
And the momentum isn’t slowing.
It’s accelerating.
