In a grand celebration of excellence and service, Chief (Dr.) Juliet Bolaji Akinmulero has been named the Southwest Legendary Award (King’s Edition) Woman of the Year in Humanitarian Service 2025, honoring her decades-long commitment to humanity, empowerment, and global leadership.
Renowned for her selfless dedication to uplifting the vulnerable, Dr. Akinmulero’s humanitarian legacy spans continents — from Nigeria to the United States and the United Kingdom. As the Chief Executive Officer of four thriving care facilities in California, including Divine Residential Group Home Corporation and Mercy Residential Home, she has redefined compassion and dignity in caregiving, touching countless lives through her tireless advocacy and generosity.
Her impact has earned international acclaim, including the United Nations Outstanding Humanitarian Award in New York, which recognized her as a global ambassador for peace, women’s empowerment, and social development.
Educated across Nigeria and the United Kingdom, Dr. Akinmulero’s journey from Methodist Primary School, Owo, to East and West London College is a testament to resilience, vision, and lifelong learning. Beyond her humanitarian work, she is a dynamic entrepreneur with thriving ventures in real estate, agriculture, transportation, and logistics, bridging opportunities across Nigeria, the UK, and the US.
A proud custodian of culture, she holds the chieftaincy title of Yeye-Oba of Ayeka Kingdom in Ondo State, conferred by HRM Dr. Babatunde Michael Ayeyowa, in recognition of her cultural pride and service to humanity.
Her personal journey, marked by strength and purpose, carries deep emotional resonance. Following the passing of her beloved daughter, Mrs. Oluwafunmilayo Aderonke Akinmulero, she transformed her grief into action — dedicating her humanitarian accolades to her memory and preparing to establish a foundation in her honor, continuing her legacy of love and compassion.
Holding dual British-Nigerian citizenship and U.S. permanent residency, Chief (Dr.) Juliet Bolaji Akinmulero stands as a symbol of unity and empowerment — a bridge between continents and cultures, and a living testament to what service, resilience, and compassion can achieve.
Today, the Southwest Legendary Awards proudly celebrates her as the 2025 Woman of the Year in Humanitarian Service, honoring not only her achievements but the countless lives she continues to inspire around the world.
Congratulations to Chief (Dr.) Juliet Bolaji Akinmulero — a beacon of hope, a visionary leader, and a humanitarian icon of our time.
