Honoring Lola Adedokun
1981-2024 In 2024, we were deeply saddened by the loss of our board member and friend, Lola Adedokun, whose passing leaves a profound void in our hearts and in the fight for social justice. Lola was among Foster America’s first and most dedicated supporters, sharing our vision of transforming child welfare and championing change with relentless passion. Her influence accelerated our mission and empowered many changemakers who continue to follow in her footsteps. Beyond the boardroom, Lola’s commitment to equity, community building, and bolstering emergent leaders was evident in every facet of her work — from creating transformative initiatives at the Aspen Global Innovators Group and the Doris Duke Foundation to serving on numerous nonprofit boards. She believed that true change begins with inspired leadership and consistently supported people-driven transformation within systems. Lola exemplified the ideals she upheld, whether through her professional contributions or her unwavering personal integrity. Her legacy lives on through the countless lives she touched — including ours. We dedicate these pages to her memory.
