Accessible AI Education: How Coach Oreoluwa And A Collective Of Experts Are Bridging The Gap For Small Businesses

 

A 12 Month Free AI Webinar Initiative Helping Entrepreneurs Move From Confusion To Clarity

20th April 2026

Artificial intelligence is no longer something distant or reserved for large corporations. It is actively shaping how businesses grow, compete, and stay relevant in today’s economy.

Yet for many small business owners, the real challenge is no longer access. The tools are available. The conversation is everywhere. The difficulty lies in knowing what to do with it.

Over the past four months, Oreoluwa Afe, founder of Change Catalyst Co. has been building something quietly but intentionally. A webinar platform designed to help small businesses move from watching on the sidelines to actually using AI in their daily operations.

What began as a simple idea has grown into a practical learning space where entrepreneurs are not just taught, but guided to apply.

In a statement released to the press through DAME Media & PR Solutions  Coach Oreoluwa shared the vision behind the initiative:

“Change Catalyst Co AI Webinars started as a simple idea, but quickly became a space where entrepreneurs are not just learning, they are building in real time.

We are now expanding into a 12 month free AI webinar initiative to open the door for more small business owners to step in, gain clarity, and apply what they learn with confidence.”

Dame Media & PR Solutions, known for amplifying transformative business and innovation stories, described the initiative as:

“A timely and necessary intervention in the evolving AI landscape, where the real gap is no longer access to tools, but the ability for everyday entrepreneurs to understand and apply them meaningfully.”


From Knowing To Doing

There is a common belief that holds many businesses back. That you need a large budget, a technical team, or complex systems before AI can work for you.

This initiative challenges that directly.

Inside each session, participants are not overwhelmed with theory. Instead, they are guided to use AI in real time, apply it to their own businesses, and leave with something tangible.

Something they can actually use.

The focus is simple. Less talking. More execution!


Who Is Oreoluwa Afe

Oreoluwa Afe is a Technology Business Consultant with over a decade of experience across enterprise systems, data governance, and transformation initiatives.

Her work has always centered on one thing. Making complex systems easier to understand and, more importantly, easier to use.

At the heart of her work is a clear belief. Small businesses should not be left behind as technology evolves.

She is focused on helping entrepreneurs move faster, operate more efficiently, and compete globally without feeling overwhelmed or excluded.


Why Collective Expertise Matters

One of the defining strengths of this initiative is its collaborative structure.

Rather than relying on a single voice, the platform brings together multiple coaches, each contributing their own area of expertise. The result is a richer, more grounded learning experience.

Because the truth is simple.

No one person has all the answers.

But when knowledge is shared, things shift.
Clarity improves, confidence grows and execution becomes possible!


The Coaches Behind The Experience

Coach Ndali Modebe

Award Winning Global Media and PR Expert, Convener Project STEAM, Business Boost Bootcamp Institute- B3I

Ndali brought a strong focus on visibility and income, drawing from her experience in branding, PR, and digital marketing.

Her sessions helped participants use AI to improve digital product sales, strengthen their positioning, and increase visibility.

For many, this was the moment AI stopped feeling abstract and started connecting directly to revenue.


Coach Adebayo Dawodu

Digital Transformation Consultant

Adebayo helped participants see the bigger picture.

He focused on how AI fits into long term business growth, from digitization to scaling operations, giving entrepreneurs structure and direction beyond quick wins.


Coach Adebimpe Omolaso

AI Product Manager and UX Designer

Adebimpe introduced product thinking, an area often overlooked by small businesses.

His sessions focused on building solutions that people actually use, aligning outputs with real customer needs rather than surface level functionality.


Coach Michael Orji

Developer, Marketing Strategist, AI Automation Specialist

Michael focused on execution.

From automating repetitive tasks to integrating AI into everyday workflows, his sessions helped participants simplify operations and improve efficiency.


Built Together, Not Alone

This platform has grown through collaboration.

Each coach contributed their expertise, their time, and their commitment to helping others move forward. Notably, Coach Ndali Modebe has delivered consistent ssessions (in additional to April) across four consecutive months, reinforcing both continuity and impact.

That shared effort has shaped the experience and strengthened its results.

This is not individual teaching. It is collective transformation!


What Is Coming Next

The April 2026 edition introduces a new phase, featuring Coach Ndali Modebe, Engr Lucky Chizuorum, and Coach Oreoluwa Afe.

With the expansion into a 12 month free AI webinar model, the initiative is set to go deeper.

Participants can expect more interactive sessions, practical tools they can apply immediately, and continued collaboration across experts.

Future sessions will also explore more advanced areas, including AI governance, data responsibility, and scaling AI across full business operations.


Why This Matters Now

We are in a defining moment.

Technology is more accessible than ever.
The way businesses compete is shifting.
Speed of execution is becoming the real advantage.

For small businesses, particularly across Africa, this presents a powerful opportunity.

To grow, scale and operate beyond traditional limitations, only if they are ready to act.


Looking Ahead

The conversation around AI often focuses on access! 

However,  the real difference is not who has access, it is who knows how to use it and more importantly, who is willing to try!
