Adila Budullah has bagged Exemplary Women Leadership Award

• November 28, 2021

Adila Budullah is an entrepreneur, owner and director of Embrace Uniqueness Ltd, multiple award winner and most recently won Africa’s Most influential Woman in Business and Government Country & Regional Winner IOC 2020/21.

Born in Cape Town, South Africa, Adila is a General Psychology, Early Childhood specialist as well as a certified yoga practitioner. 16 years ago she started working with children in Lagos, Nigeria, where she discovered her passion for education and making a difference in people’s life. She was engaged in counseling, mentoring and teaching at schools and institutes where she found her fondness for storytelling and motivational talks. Adila volunteered at orphanages and charity fundraising events in the city. Working as a teacher with Helen O'Grady Drama Academy Nigeria brought a new awakening in her, by witnessing how effective and powerful "educating through drama" was and she is now going on her 10th year as the principal of Helen O'Grady Drama Academy Mauritius. 

Pursuing her dream of helping individuals to reach their full potential, she provides development through theatre arts courses, speech & communications courses, yoga classes, motivational talks and creating opportunities for individuals in performing arts. Performed by Adila with the objective of helping people on an emotional and mental level to make changes in their lives and within themselves.

Adila does talks in various events, organisations and schools while she relates her personal experiences to the audience. Not everyone evaluates their significant life experiences to determine if those experiences could be helpful to others. The idea of Embrace Uniqueness originated from the belief that as individuals we are unique and embracing this notion can only lead us to become better beings. Everyone has the capacity and capability to do something phenomenal with their life. When one unlocks one’s imagination, possibilities open up. The path to discovery of the self and what makes us unique requires passion, confidence, self-esteem, serenity and a healthy body. Potential is a priceless treasure, like gold. All of us gold hidden within, but we have to dig to get out.
