As an immigrant parent of four children and a child welfare law attorney in a diverse county, Tinuke Fawole knows firsthand the struggles that children of immigrants go through which parents are often completely unaware of. In this talk, she shares three distinct ways in which immigrants unwittingly silence their children’s voices, the damages caused and ways in which parents can support their children better.
Since the lives of children of immigrants are impacted by more than just their parents, she also encourages the school systems, the healthcare system, the court system and all who provide services for immigrant children to become aware of the unique challenges these children face so they can be supported better and provided services tailor-made for them rather than a one-size fits all. An immigrant from Nigeria, Tinuke Fawole is a Criminal Law and Child Welfare Law Attorney and passionately advocates for her clients in the Criminal Justice System. She is also a former State Prosecutor. Tinuke is a Parenting Thought Leader and an expert in helping parents navigate the challenges of immigrant parenting.
Tinuke is the host of the KZitem channel, Optimum Families and is an International Speaker and Relationship Coach. She is the author of The Immigration Gap and Master of My Destiny. Tinuke travels all over the world, speaking and giving workshops and seminars for various organizations, companies and conferences and the impact of her expertise is measurable.
Tinuke has been happily married to her college sweetheart, Alaba for 37 years and they are blessed with four happy and well-adjusted children, two amazing sons in law and adorable grandchildren.
Tinuke loves traveling and spending time with her family. She lives in Snellville, Georgia with her husband. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
