Professor Itohan Idumwonyi Profiled in The Gonzaga Bulletin
From the article:
"[...] A few years later, one of Idumwonyi’s professors at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria requested two extra copies of her final long essay. Idumwonyi, a student paying her way through college, was upset because of the added cost, but printed them anyway. Her professor forwarded the two essays to two of her colleagues, including theologian Mercy Amba Oduyoye, who encouraged Idumwonyi and later invited Idumwonyi to present her paper at the 10th anniversary of the Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians in Ghana.
Idumwonyi said she saw this conference as an “aha” moment. She realized she could still make that meaningful impact she wanted with law through religious studies.
Idumwonyi continued her religious studies at the University of Ibadan. She began volunteering for the nonprofit organization African Women Empowerment Guild in Benin upon graduation, where she served as a program officer addressing female empowerment in her community."
