Learn how to use your creativity to start your own business just like 11-year-old Olamide, Pocketlings founder. Participants will design their own “mini Pocketlings doll” to foster imagination, representation, and problem-solving.

Osayi Lasisi is the co-founder of Pocketlings and a growth marketer with 13+ years of experience. But the real story starts with her daughter. Olamide, now 11, couldn't find a doll that looked like her. So, she and her mom built one — and Pocketlings dolls & books were born. Today, Olamide is the brand's co-founder and creative lead.
