About Me
Welcome to my world! I’m Abimbola Balogun, a proud native of Ijebu Ode, nestled in the heart of Ogun State, Nigeria. Born and raised in this culturally rich city, I’m honored to hail from the esteemed Balogun Odunuga family, known for our deep-rooted commitment to promoting and preserving Yoruba heritage.
Growing up surrounded by the traditions, customs, and rituals of my ancestors, I developed a profound appreciation for the beauty and significance of Yoruba culture. From the rhythmic beats of talking drums to the vibrant colors of Aso Oke fabric, every aspect of Yoruba life tells a story – a story I am deeply passionate about sharing with the world.
