Join me as I interview Derin Adetosoye, content creator and presenter, working for Formula E and Formula 1. Derin exudes positive energy and I’m sure you will finish this episode feeling as motivated as I did with a strong belief that everything happens for a reason. During our conversation, Derin discusses becoming a content creator at 14, being influenced to choose a different path to her passion and how being 1 mark away from getting into University ended up being the biggest blessing. She has been on a journey of self-love and connecting to what she truly wants and needs in life, which I know will inspire you.
