Her Story

Hi, I'm Damilola Adelani.

I'm a registered nurse, a certified inner healing life coach, a faith-based teacher, and a mentor to teens and young adults. I'm also a wife and a proud mom of two incredible kids.

Destined by Design was born from a deep desire to raise a generation that gives God more than just church attendance — one that gives Him their hearts, their minds, and their whole lives. Freely. Fully.

This space exists to bring truth and clarity to the conversations we don't always hear in church or culture. We talk about real things such as sexual purity, identity, shame, healing, and purpose. Because when truth meets grace, transformation begins.

Whether you're a teenager navigating pressure or a young adult trying to find your footing, there's a seat at this table for you. You were not meant to do life alone.

Equipped to walk
with you.

Registered Nurse

Clinical training rooted in care, compassion, and seeing the whole person. Not just the surface. It shapes how Lola approaches every conversation and every session.

Certified Inner Healing Coach

Faith-Based Teacher

Scripture grounded, Spirit-led teaching that makes the Word relevant, personal, and transformative for where young people actually are in life.

Available to speak at churches, schools, retreats, and conferences. Lola brings energy, authenticity, and a message that actually sticks.

Real life. Real faith. Lola doesn't just teach from a stage. She lives it out as a wife and mom of two, which makes every word she speaks grounded in reality.

The Vision

Why Destined by Design exists.

Every part of this ministry was built intentionally. Shaped by real experiences, real prayers, and a real calling.

A generation that gives God more than attendance.

Church can become routine. Destined by Design was created to interrupt that and to invite young people into a real, alive relationship with God that goes beyond showing up on Sunday.

Conversations that don't happen anywhere else.

Identity. Sexual purity. Shame. Trauma. Healing. These are the things quietly destroying a generation and they need to be talked about. Openly. Biblically. Without judgment.

A space where you can actually be seen.

Whether you're thriving or barely holding on, there's space here. No performance required. No perfect theology. Just people who want to grow closer to God and to each other.

Walking you into your God-given destiny.

You weren't created to drift. Through teachings, mentorship, and community, Destined by Design exists to help you step fully into what God designed you for on purpose, with purpose.
