Growing up in Nigeria, the youngest of twenty children, Folake always dreamt of delving into the arts. Her parents - Chief Babatunji & Chief Mrs Felicia Olowofoyeku - however insisted on the family profession of Law and Politics. On an opportune summer vacation to New York City, Folake, unbeknownst to her family began her undergraduate studies in the arts; eventually leading to her Bachelor of Arts (Honors) in Theatre, a Diploma in Audio Engineering and Self-Teachings on Guitar. While at University, she also developed a love for basketball; competing with CCNY's Beavers in the NCAA Leagues. She earned a Best Actress Award for her lead role in "When They Could Fly" at the prestigious ReelHeART International Film Festival in Toronto, Canada; and, Best Actress In A Fashion Film for her lead role in "Central & Broadway" at CinéFashion Film Awards, Los Angeles.
