Personality of the Week
Kenny Adewoyin, Just Like Family Home Care
Kenny Adewoyin has a varied work and educational background, including stints in journalism, public relations, marketing, supply chain management, and immigration consulting. After immigrating to Winnipeg from Nigeria, she worked as a support worker, caring for seniors and people with disabilities and mental health issues, and in international student recruitment for post-secondary schools in Manitoba.
“Work was going smoothly until COVID-19 struck,” says Adewoyin. When business came to an abrupt standstill, it was her husband who suggested she consider buying a franchise. Her experience in client services, her business and marketing skills, and her interest in working with seniors and vulnerable people led her to Just Like Family Home Care, and she purchased the Manitoba franchise in June 2020.
Adewoyin’s company was named on the “Best of Winnipeg” list for Elder Care for the year 2022.
The entire Nigerian community is super proud of you Mrs Adewoyin and we wish you the very best as you continue to uplift the Nigerian flag.
Support our community members in your riding.
Be the change you want to see!
The Nigerian Association of Manitoba Inc. is calling on community members to celebrate and support our own enmass irrespective of their political affiliations.
