In a world where the wealth gap continues to widen and financial literacy remains elusive for many, Dr. Olayinka Adegbayi is not just talking about change—she’s writing it. A powerhouse in business, faith, and leadership, Dr. Adegbayi is now penning her way into the world of authorship with the same conviction she brings to boardrooms, classrooms, and congregations. Her mission? To equip the everyday individual with tools to transform their financial trajectory—and their lives.
Born in Nigeria and currently residing in the United States, Dr. Adegbayi‘s story is one of resilience, strategy, and service. As President of both New Earth Contracting LLC and Chosen Leadership Development Corporation, she’s known for building physical infrastructures. But through her writing, she is now building intellectual and spiritual frameworks that empower her readers to build lasting legacies.
“My journey as a writer started with my desire to close the gap between financial information and access,” she explains. “So many people—especially in the middle class—are miseducated about money. I wanted to change that narrative, not just in conversation, but in print.”
Her first major writing project explores the pillars of financial literacy in a faith-based context, drawing from her vast experience as a Senior Marketing Director with World Financial Group. With licenses in multiple states, Dr. Adegbayi has traveled extensively, educating families on cash flow, savings, debt management, and wealth accumulation. Now, her work as an author aims to make those teachings accessible to wider audiences through books, seminars, and digital content.
But the road to writing has not been without its obstacles. “Finding the time to write while running businesses, mentoring, traveling, and raising a family has been a challenge,” she admits. “But I make it a priority because I know my words have weight.” Her commitment to balance is evident in her schedule—morning writing sessions, weekend edits, and content development in between financial coaching calls and church board meetings.
Mentorship has played a major role in her writing journey. Influenced by the teachings of faith leaders and seasoned financial experts, Dr. Adegbayi has blended practical instruction with spiritual wisdom, creating a unique voice in a genre often dominated by numbers and formulas. “My mentors taught me that truth must meet people where they are,” she says. “That’s what I aim to do with every page.”
Her message of empowerment resonates deeply with readers. “One woman reached out to say that after reading an early draft of my book, she finally felt like financial freedom was possible,” shares Dr. Adegbayi. “That’s why I write—to unlock what people didn’t even realize was within reach.”
In her work, diversity and inclusion are not just buzzwords—they’re guiding principles. Her writing specifically speaks to communities of color, immigrant families, and underserved individuals who often lack access to traditional financial education. “Everyone deserves to see themselves in the pages of possibility,” she says.
Looking to the future, Dr. Adegbayi plans to publish a series of books on faith, finance, and entrepreneurship, as well as launch an online platform where readers can engage in self-paced financial learning. “My vision is to create a legacy of learning,” she explains. “One that my children and the children of others can build upon.”
To aspiring writers, her advice is clear and confident: “Start with your truth. Write what you know, but more importantly, write what people need to hear.”
And to the readers of Today’s Author Magazine, Dr. Adegbayi offers this message: “Your story is your solution. Don’t bury your lessons—publish them. Someone’s breakthrough may be waiting on your boldness.”
