Dear Lagosians: A Birthday That Bleeds Purpose
In this city where noise often drowns meaning, and birthdays are mostly selfies and champagne, some people choose to light candles in the lives of others instead.
Today, we celebrate one of those rare lights — Adesola Bakare Adeosun, the founder of She’s Made for More Foundation, a woman whose heart beats louder than Lagos traffic, and whose purpose flows deeper than puddles on a rainy Ayobo morning.
Adesola is not just marking another year, she’s turning a personal milestone into a movement, gifting dignity to girls who are too often forgotten in silence.
A Birthday, A Bigger Message

While others unwrap gifts, she’s giving out sanitary pads to young girls in underserved communities, girls who have learned to use rags, newspaper, or nothing at all.
In a world where menstruation is still whispered like a scandal, Adesola is speaking loud, clear, and with compassion. She reminds us that access to menstrual hygiene is not a luxury. It’s a human right.
She’s Made for More… and So Are They
Through her foundation, Adesola doesn’t just hand out supplies, she hands out hope. She tells teenage girls; “You are seen. You are worthy. And you are made for more.”
In a time when social media trends fade by noon, her work stays planted in school halls, shelter homes, and the hearts of every girl who’s ever been told to hide her period or skip school because of it.
Dear Lagosians, This Is What Legacy Looks Like
So today, we raise a virtual toast, not just to her age, but to her impact.
To the girls she’s mentored, the dignity she’s restored, and the quiet revolutions she sparks every time she chooses purpose over party.
Happy Birthday, Adesola Bakare Adeosun.
In a city full of noise, thank you for being a voice.
In a world full of taking, thank you for giving — even on your special day.
You’re not just made for more.
You’re making more out of every life you touch.
