Childhood and education.
Oladosu is from Ogbomosho in Oyo state. She received her education at GSS Gwagwalada Abuja, and then proceeded to University of Agriculture, Markurdi where she earned a first class degree in Agricultural Economics.
Climate activism.
Oladosu began organizing for climate activism after she started university. She saw farmers and herdsmen angry because their land was becoming more arid and other communities who had never faced flooding had their farmlands swept away. Reading the Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C IPCC report led her to join the Fridays For Future movement. She began advocating in communities, schools, and public places to speak to people about the climate crisis. She encouraged them to plant trees and educate their peers.
In 2019, Oladosu was the recipient of the Ambassador of Conscience Award from Amnesty International Nigeria and she spoke to world leaders at the UN youth climate summit.
She attended the 2019 Climate change conference in Madrid along with Greta Thunberg where she drew the attention of world leaders towards the Nigerian and African climate movements.
