Ife Oyelade is more than a speaker, she is a strategist, community builder, and transformational leader whose work lives at the intersection of tech, consulting, entrepreneurship, and inclusive leadership. With over a decade of experience leading digital transformation, coaching emerging leaders, and building scalable programs, Ife brings a rare blend of clarity, authenticity, and execution to every room she enters. Her speaking brand, Ife Inspires, is powered by her consulting firm, Affrism, a Black-owned strategy and innovation consultancy that exists to help people and organizations see challenges through new lenses.

Affrism (a fusion of “Africa” and “prism”) reflects Ife’s deep commitment to purpose, identity, and possibility. It is the strategic backbone behind the workshops, keynotes, and coaching engagements she deliver, ensuring that her work is not only inspiring, but actionable. Through Affrism and Ife Inspires, she’s worked with institutions like Toronto Metropolitan University, Casa Foundation, and the Diversity Institute, supporting innovation, economic empowerment, and inclusive growth. Whether facilitating a corporate leadership session or guiding first-time founders through entrepreneurship frameworks, Ife’s strength lies in her ability to turn bold ideas into clear strategy and meaningful impact.

To help others do the same, Ife created the INSPIRE Framework™ a 7-part model developed through years of consulting, coaching, and real-world experience. This signature framework guides individuals and organizations from ideation to execution

With a background in law, an Executive MBA, and hands-on experience delivering multimillion-dollar transformation projects, Ife blends executive-level strategy with grassroots empathy. Ife Inspires isn’t just a name, it’s a movement backed by the systems, strategy, and soul to create lasting change.
