Pauline Aweto is a writer, author, editor, researcher, activist, trainer, keynote speaker and leader in higher education. Since obtaining her PhD from Rome, Italy, she has passionately empowered women to develop new behaviours, positive mindset and self-developmental competencies relevant to today’s competitive marketplace.

Spanning over 20 years of academic and professional career, she has successfully helped thousands of women to seek, set and accomplish personal and professional aspirational goals, develop awareness of their own individuality and unique personality, allow their best versions to emerge and thrive in authenticity, in a rapidly changing world where the currency for attaining and remaining successful is anchored on adaptability and innovativeness.

In her Memoir, Essentially: Being Me in a Becoming World, she craftily weaves her intensely personal journey and life-changing experiences as she grapples to find meaning and purpose in a trilogy of lives through first choices, second chances and everything in between.

Through the lenses of her personal experiences, she explores themes such as susceptibility, fighting addiction, and aloneness.

The book is an open invitation to self-conversations and discovery through the turbulent storms and uncharted waters of the inevitability of change.

She strongly believes that we can only find our authentic selves in vulnerability and only when we find ourselves can we truly find and empower others.

In her work, Pauline Aweto has received numerous awards, including the African migrant woman of the year, Achievement Recognition Award for Leadership and Senior Fellowship in Higher Education Academy.
