As a remarkably steadfast woman who conceded through a girls' secondary school in the western part of Nigeria, she understands the challenges, lifestyle and consequent vulnerability of girls which may lead to a lifetime of adverse change. This influenced Morolake’s passion to educating the girl-child.

Her involvement with different forms of cancer treatment, understanding the pathways while working in the NHS inspired her to participate in promoting cancer research and contributes to fundraising and charity events like, Race for Life events for women, Walk the Walk fundraising events for breast cancer, Macmillan’s Coffee Morning fundraising event, Save the Children fundraiser for charity that provides healthcare, food and education to children around the world.
