In February 2025, Anglia Ruskin University’s Global Day became a cultural landmark — thanks in no small part to Mrs Kehinde Ijiwande Olamide, CEO of Meadelsh Groups Ltd.
Through authentic West African culinary artistry, she elevated the celebration’s cultural impact, earning the prestigious Award for Cultural and Culinary Excellence.
Her remarkable coordination, warm diplomacy, and dedication to cultural inclusion did not go unnoticed. Building on this success, the African Union Students Society (AUSS) has named her the Lead Officiating Coordinator for its upcoming October 2025 event.
Mrs Kehinde’s honours include multiple recognitions from ISHIBA Empowerment, underscoring her consistent role as a cultural bridge-builder. Driven by a passion for Afrocentric diplomacy, she uses food as a language of unity, identity, and shared heritage.
For October, expect a dynamic fusion of African flavours, cultural performances, and diplomatic engagement — a celebration designed not just to entertain, but to connect communities.
Her mission is clear: to communicate Africa’s richness to the world, one plate at a time.
