About Me — Adebayo Afolabi
This might not tell you everything, but it’ll tell you enough.
On paper, it’s Adebayo Afolabi. In real life? Just call me Debayoorr, it saves us both time. That’s the name I answer to when I’m plotting ideas, challenging norms, or minding my own brilliance. I’ve never been a fan of bios that feel like elevator pitches in a burning building, so this isn’t that.
Everything I do is rooted in observation and rebellion. I’ve never been good at staying in my lane, maybe that’s why I studied science, then pivoted to business, and now I stay where the questions are louder than the answers.
I’m Nigerian. Which means I don’t get the luxury of ignoring governance, not when every headline feels like déjà vu with worse consequences. I talk about it often, loudly, and probably too much for some people’s comfort. But I’d rather be inconvenient than indifferent.
I’ve spent most of my career in marketing, building messages, brands, and meaning. But even in those polished spaces, I’ve always been chasing clarity. I crave solitude, but I show up where it matters. I want to be invisible and unforgettable. That’s the tension I live in.
Realism is my default setting, a blessing in strategy, a curse in relationships. I’m still learning how to rest without guilt. I try to work out, but my schedule is a shapeshifter. I care too much. I question everything. I stay watching and when I speak, it’s rarely small talk.
This is me just showing up, not as a brand but as a person. The kind who catches the small things, laughs too hard at smart shade, and somehow makes structure out of chaos for a living. If that sounds like a contradiction, welcome to my life.
This isn’t a résumé. It’s a glimpse. The rest? You’ll feel it when I move.
