Dyslexia and Me
In this book, rising star entrepreneur Onyinye Udokporo shares her story of growing up dyslexic in a society where neurodivergence was always presented as a white male issue. Onyinye discusses her experience of being diagnosed at 11 years old, starting a business the following year, gaining a scholarship to a prestigious boarding school and going on to complete two degrees by the age of 22, while also being honest about the difficulties she faced throughout including with bullying and anxiety. She shares the tips she picked up over the years for thriving with dyslexia and the strategies she used to overcome her difficulties in reading and writing well, staying organised and speaking with confidence. Illuminating wider issues of systemic racism in the educational sector and providing a timely reminder that dyslexia can be found in any community and culture, this is an empowering story of surviving and thriving in the face of adversity.

The Onyinye Udokporo ‘Pay It Forward’ Initiative in collaboration with Next Gen - Pensions
When Tannaz Rastegar and Karen Quinn approached me to speak at this year’s NextGen - Pensions Conference, I was thrilled because Neurodiversity is not given the attention it needs in the financial sector, more specifically the Pensions sector. Neurodivergent people face significant financial challenges including but not limited to:
- Having trouble remembering to pay their bills on time.
- Spending impulsively.
- Procrastinating when it comes to non-preferred financial tasks, like budgeting
- Having trouble understanding complex financial planning which includes planning for their pensions.
I am passionate about creating a more neuro-inclusive world and speaking at this conference is an opportunity for me to do so. In order to help the NextGen - Pensions Conference team to continue to do their good work, I pledge to ‘pay it forward’ and donate 20% of my earnings for up to five Neurodiversity awareness and/or training sessions purchased by organisations that have attended this year’s conference.
As it currently stands, NextGen - Pensions is run entirely by volunteers. Experts like me give our time and knowledge to the conference freely in a bid to promote equity in the Pensions sector. This is an excellent thing to do but I want to take things a step further by helping NextGen - Pensions have extra funding that can be used to give people, who like me, come from under-served backgrounds and cannot always afford to offer their expertise free of charge.
Real equity recognises that under-served communities need additional resources and opportunities in order for an equal outcome to be reached. Simply put, those who are starting on the back foot should be given a hand up.
Paying it forward will enable the NextGen - Pensions team the chance to offer an honorarium to next year’s participants. This paying it forward initiative is how real, sustainable equity is created.
