Tunde Onakoya for the debut issue of Gravitas.
“It is possible to do great things from a small place.”
It’s more than a catchphrase; for @tunde_onakoya , it is a proven reality. From the chessboards of Ikorodu to the global stage, Tunde has shown the world that origin does not define destination.
But what does it look like to maintain that same spirit when the rooms get bigger and the stakes get higher?
In the Jardin du Luxembourg, we sat down with the man behind the movement to discuss faith, the burden of visibility, and his mission to build systems that scale. We explore the transition from the “small place” to the global stage, and why, for a knight, the move is always forward.
