Educator, Theorist, Writer, Organizer,,Storyteller, and Researcher



Hi! My name is Ileri Jaiyeoba (she/her/herself). I am an interdisciplinary storyteller, researcher, cooperative practitioner, and organizer who works across the intersections of education, art, culture, and technology. 

I obtained my BA degree at New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized Study. I also obtained a Masters degree at the Specialized Studies Program at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

I feel immensely grateful for the recognition my work has garnered over the years. Platforms such as Bumble (2023) , BBC, Essence, and HerCampus have highlighted my contributions and I have also been included in features from Sesi Magazine (2017), Day of The Girl (2017), Glam Salad (2017), Periods and Power Moves (2020), Real Diamonds, Real People: The Clear Cut (2020), and a 2020 Alumni Note from Gallatin.  Additionally, I have had the opportunity to participate in speaking engagements with notable organizations like the United Nations, Her Campus Media, and The Grapevine, among others.

In 2021, I had the opportunity to collaborate with the Africa Center and The Harvard Radcliffe Center on an exploratory seminar which showcased wonderful speakers such as Angela Saini and Uzodinma Iweala. I later joined the New York Times R&D team as a strategist, contributing my unique perspectives and expertise to their innovative projects.

I like to think of my life as not necessarily aligned with a narrow career path but more project focused and expansive, as I like to attempt to try new things and explore new ideas. Overall, I find joy in being playful with my experiences through experimentation and tinkering.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and my multifaceted journey!
