Hi I'm Apinke Afolabi - a Data Analyst, Educator and Advocate for Data Literacy in Africa.
I believe everyone benefits from understanding data, as it’s the language behind the decisions that shape our world.
As a data analyst and educator, I work to help individuals and organizations make sense of their data, turning complex information into insights that drive real impact. My mission goes beyond analysis; through initiatives like Data for Next Gen Africa and SQL Query Corner, I’m dedicated to equipping young minds across Africa with essential data skills, empowering them to thrive in an increasingly data-driven world.
Whether you’re a professional, student, or simply curious, I’ll help you develop a data-driven mindset, building skills and confidence to help you see data as your most powerful tool.
Let's talk....
The Impact I'm Creating and Why It Matters
Data for Next-Gen Africa
I had free time on my hands, and like many people, I wanted to do something meaningful with it. I started asking myself, ‘How can I give back?’ I knew I wanted to use my skills—not just as a data analyst, but also with my background in education—to make a real impact. So, I began looking for opportunities to volunteer or contribute to causes that centered around data literacy. But when I couldn't find any data-focused volunteer opportunities in Lagos, I was moved to take action and create my own. That’s how Data for Next-Gen Africa was born. What we’re really doing is empowering secondary school students with the data skills they need to succeed in a world increasingly shaped by data, no matter what career path they choose.
SQL Query Corner
When I was learning SQL, I found it difficult to find projects that really helped me connect the dots between what I was learning and how to apply it in the real world. This challenge led me to create SQL Query Corner—a platform where beginners can practice real-world projects and see how SQL syntaxes are used in actual analysis. The goal is to bridge the gap between theory and practice, providing hands-on experience that prepares learners for the kind of work they’ll encounter in the field. SQL Query Corner is for anyone ready to take their SQL skills to the next level and start building meaningful, job-ready projects" should replace "Whether you're an aspiring data analyst or a professional looking to elevate your skills, whether you're just starting out or have years of experience.
Data Skills & Portfolio Workshops
When I started learning data analytics, I struggled to find personalized support. I spent countless hours sifting through tutorials, feeling stuck, and wishing I had someone to help me understand where I was going wrong. The frustration of not having a mentor to guide me through each step made the journey longer and harder than it had to be. That’s why I now offer personalized data workshops. With my hands-on approach, I guide you through each workshop, ensuring you gain the necessary skills to succeed. You won’t feel lost. Together, we’ll identify the perfect data role for you, equip you with the skill sets required for that role, and build a portfolio that showcases your abilities to land the job. My workshops are designed to train you for real-world data roles and help you get hired, setting you up for a successful career in data.
