I'm Adérónké Adéjàre

I'm a computer scientist, theater artist, and digital media creator passionate about exploring the intersection of technology and media to enhance the storytelling of Black and disabled narratives.

I recently graduated from Yale University with a B.A. in Computing and the Arts with a concentration in Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies where my thesis project Moon Man Walk was the first Augmented Reality theater production at Yale.

I am currently a Data Engineer Associate on the Claims Document Ingestion Team and a part of Technology Associate Program (TAP) at Chubb. I started on the Personal Risk Services Digital Platforms and Mobile Team where I contributed to the newly redesigned Chubb Agent Mobile App and Chubb Mobile App.

But what about the things our moms don’t tell us about: dating in the era of swiping, what it’s like to age, how to build a supportive community. Join Kemi and Ronke Adejare, a mother-daughter duo, as they have all the conversations you wish you could have with your mom.
