Wole Adedoyin, the President of the Society of Young Nigerian Writers and the African Director of the International Human Rights Art Movement (IHRAM), has been selected to join the Wisdom Advisory Council of the Splendid Mola/Writers Happiness Movement, a Los Angeles-based literary initiative.
This prestigious appointment, effective from August 2024, acknowledges Adedoyin's outstanding contributions to nurturing and empowering young writers across Nigeria and Africa. His work in fostering literary talent and supporting the development of young writers has made a lasting impact, earning him this recognition on a global stage.
In a dated 18th July, 2024 issued by Lori R. Snyder, the Founder of Splendid Mola and The Writers Happiness Movement, Adedoyin's impact on the literary landscape was highly commended. Snyder highlighted that Adedoyin’s tireless efforts in mentoring young writers and helping them hone their writing skills made him an ideal candidate for the Wisdom Advisory Council. His work has not only facilitated the publication of numerous young writers but has also strengthened the literary community in Africa.
The Splendid Mola Retreat for Writers and the 1-day Urban Mini-Retreats, which Adedoyin will now help advise, are designed to provide writers with a supportive environment to create and focus solely on their craft. These retreats offer an uninterrupted writing space, combined with all-levels yoga tailored for creatives, delicious meals, and the camaraderie of felloSw writers. They represent a holistic approach to fostering creativity, ensuring that writers have the time and space to concentrate on their projects.
The Writers Happiness Movement, another initiative under Lori Snyder's leadership, is dedicated to building a global community where writers are fully supported. The long-term vision of the Movement includes establishing large-scale programs, such as retirement homes and co-living spaces exclusively for writers, which will be sustained entirely by the Movement. This visionary approach is designed to ensure that writers everywhere can thrive, free from financial stress and with access to the resources they need.
Adedoyin’s appointment to the Wisdom Advisory Council marks a significant milestone in his career, aligning his dedication to the literary arts with a global movement committed to the well-being of writers. His involvement will bring a unique African perspective to the Council, enriching the initiatives of the Splendid Mola and the Writers Happiness Movement with his vast experience and deep understanding of the challenges faced by writers in developing regions.
Lori Snyder, who leads the Writers Happiness Movement, is herself a multifaceted individual with a rich background in both writing and education. Her journey has included roles as a science and language arts teacher, family science camp coordinator, book editor, and yoga studio owner. Snyder's commitment to supporting writers stems from her belief in the transformative power of storytelling and her dedication to fostering a supportive environment for writers worldwide.
Snyder’s academic credentials include a BA in Communication Studies from UCLA, years of study toward an MS in Marine Biology from CSULB, and an MPW (Master’s of Professional Writing) from USC. Her short fiction has been recognized with a nomination for the Pushcart Prize, and her debut novel, The Circus at the End of the Sea, has already begun to make waves. She resides in Los Angeles, where she continues to inspire writers through her work and her leadership of the Writers Happiness Movement.
Adedoyin's new role in the Wisdom Advisory Council will involve advising on key initiatives and ensuring that the Movement's programs are inclusive and impactful. His expertise in the literary field, coupled with his passion for empowering the next generation of writers, will undoubtedly contribute to the success of the Splendid Mola and the Writers Happiness Movement.
