Adeshola Akanji, Founder of Ultimate Royal UK, is redefining what modern influence truly means.

IMG

At the heart of her work is Ultimate Royal UK — an international, purpose-driven brand committed to advocacy, inclusive leadership, empowerment, and transformative visibility. More than a platform, Ultimate Royal UK is a movement rooted in lived experience, authenticity, and intentional impact.

Ultimate Royal UK provides advocacy, coaching, mentoring, speaking engagements, and leadership development support, particularly for women, disabled individuals, and underrepresented communities. Serving both UK and international clients, the brand champions resilience, confidence, and strategic self-advocacy — equipping individuals and organisations with the tools to create inclusive cultures that move beyond performative gestures into meaningful change.

Since mid-January 2026, it has been an exceptionally busy and impactful season for the brand — but what stands out most is not the accolades, it is the sustained effort to make a positive and significant difference in the lives of others.

Recent milestones include:

• Feature in SwagHer Magazine
• London Runway webtorial feature
• Relentless Magazine feature
• Panel speaker for “Neurodiversity in Medicine” at Queen Mary University of London (Year 1 medical students)
• Sharing comforting words in recognition of World Cancer Day
• Feature in Integrity Magazine UK
• Front cover feature with Iconique Magazine
• Influencer Magazine “Model of the Year” feature displayed on the Times Square digital billboard, New York (January 2026)
• Hoinser Magazine cover feature
• Hoinser Magazine “Best International Leader” Award and “Woman of the Year” recognition
• London Daily News feature
• Ezra Collective filming and still photoshoot collaboration
• All 4 Inclusion Awards nominations for “Hidden Disability Personality of the Year 2026” and “Best Dressed”
• Positive feedback from delivering the NHS presentation titled “Reshaping the Narratives: Impactful Leadership for Women and Disabled People”
• VIP attendance at House of iKons Fashion Show
• Participation in the Face of Woha “We Go Red” empowerment event
• The disability network she co-chairs shortlisted for a Heroes Award
• Contribution to Scope Charity through the Scope Research Panel

While the visibility is global — including Times Square — the mission remains personal and grounded: to use influence responsibly. To advocate intentionally. To reshape narratives around disability, leadership, and representation. To remind others that lived experience is not a limitation — it is authority.

Ultimate Royal UK continues to bridge fashion, advocacy, and leadership with purpose. The brand is not simply about recognition — it is about responsibility.
