Haleemah Atobiloye (she/her)
Program Manager

“If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude about it.” As trite as this timeless truth by Maya Angelou may seem, it has altered Haleemah’s perception of human existence and has been highly instrumental to the research positions she’s served in various not-for-profit organizations and her personal social justice advocacy ever since she stumbled on the quote in her final year of secondary school in Nigeria, West Africa. Haleemah brings this perception, cumulative three-plus years of work experience in the social sector, and her ability to complete insightful yet empathetic mixed-method social science research to the team at Breast Cancer Action. Haleemah has a Master’s degree in International Development with a focus on the International Political Economy from Ohio University, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications from Crescent University. When not working, she enjoys watching Korean dramas, exploring museums, and creating what she considers hilarious TikTok content that is never going to leave her drafts.
