TitleAdeyanju Damaris Mosuro - NLL Derby OH Interview - Full Audio
Date12 Jul 2025
DescriptionBiographical History:

Adeyanju Damaris Mosuro, born 1994 in Nigeria, is a PhD student in forensic science at the University of Lincoln. She relocated to the United Kingdom on 5 February 2023 to pursue doctoral studies, as no Nigerian university offered a PhD in her field. Raised in Ogun State, she is the eldest of four siblings and has a background in medicine and science. Her academic journey was influenced by her mother’s emphasis on education.

Scope and Content:

The interview explores themes of migration, education, motherhood, and cultural identity. Damaris discusses her academic background, transition to the UK, and experiences of pregnancy and early motherhood. She reflects on familial support, particularly from her husband and extended family, and her evolving perspective on life through parenting. Music and language play a central role in her parenting style, with emphasis on bilingual upbringing in Yoruba and English. The interview includes personal anecdotes, such as singing lullabies and traditional Yoruba songs, and features her young son, who is audibly present during the recording.
