Meet one our newest staff members, Modupe "Mo" Adewunmi, at the International Center's 2025 Annual Meeting this Thursday, March 6, at Newfields!
Mo is the Director of Coalition Building at Patchwork Indy, where she leads efforts to expand Indiana’s capacity to welcome newcomers through meaningful relationships and cross-sector collaborations.
During graduate school, Mo was part of a team of graduate student consultants on a capstone project focused on mitigating gender-based violence (GBV) in displacement settings. She conducted field research in Kenya, including interviews with humanitarian practitioners in Nairobi and focus group discussions with displaced communities in Kakuma. The research culminated in a comprehensive program roadmap and toolkit titled Preventing Gender-based Violence, Building Livelihoods: Guidance and Tools for Improved Programming, which supports humanitarian practitioners in designing safer economic livelihood programs for refugees.
Her experience meeting people from all walks of life, combined with her work with refugees in Kenya, has inspired her to create safe spaces where everyone feels valued and supported. With a global perspective shaped by her experiences across multiple countries, Mo is committed to building bridges between cultures and empowering communities.
See Mo speak at the International Center’s 2025 Annual Meeting (Thursday, March 6, 9:30-11:00 AM at Newfields) by registering through their page here. (Spots are limited!)
