Tami

As a Youth Ambassador, Tami wants to inspire other young girls not to be intimidated by sports and wants others to feel like they belong in cricket.

Hey there, my name is Tami Oladeji; you can just call me Tami. I recently turned 16, and I am proudly Nigerian, though I have been living in the UK for quite a while and have, since then, engaged in many newfound hobbies such as cooking, baking, crocheting, music, watching anime/dramas, marvel/dc, reading and cricket (amongst other sports).

I am very grateful for my opportunity to be a part of the wonderful community of Wicketz, and now, a Youth Ambassador! I applied for the position because I was driven by their values to include, empower and inspire. Compassion is my unique feature, enhancing my leadership qualities, and I can't wait to use this in my new role.

"I take pride in my ability as a role model to other young people who are like me, those who think they couldn’t pursue an interest in sports like cricket (disproving this with the 15 medals currently dangling from my door!)"
