A sojourner and woman of faith — mother, fellow traveler, and global legal leader who's lived across four continents.

Isoken Aderele

§ One sentence

I have spent over two decades learning how to hold things together when they want to come apart - at home and at work.

§ The longer story

I'm a mum, wife, daughter, sister, and friend; a sojourner who's lived and worked across four continents, from Africa to Europe to the Middle East, and now North America.

By day, I'm a global legal leader with more than twenty plus years of experience, qualified to practise across three jurisdictions. But my story doesn't end in the corporate world. Somewhere along the way I fell in love with beautiful jewellery, and as a woman of faith, I've found deep purpose in serving to help build my local church community. I'm also endlessly curious about how faith holds up in the middle of life's transitions — and that curiosity is what brought The Grace Co. into being.

I don't have everything figured out.

But I've learned that the fog doesn't mean you've lost the way — sometimes it just means you're walking by faith instead of sight. This is a space for women doing exactly that.

Things on my desk.
