She is Nigeria and Africa’s first female skeleton athlete, as well as the first black female athlete in the sport of skeleton. Before competing in skeleton, Adeagbo competed in triple jump, last competing in 2008. Early lifeAdeagbo was born in Toronto, in Ontario, Canada, to Nigerian parents; but she moved back to Nigeria when she was an infant, and stayed there through age 6.[1] CareerAdeagbo served as a Nike body double for Serena Williams.[3] Adeagbo is a marketing manager for Nike in South Africa since 2012.[1] On August 18th 2018, Adeagbo spoke alongside other noteworthy speakers, to a sold-out audience during the TEDxLagos spotlight event at the Muson Centre.[1] She shared the stage with legal practitioner Supo Shasore, Award-winning technologist Ade Olufeko, Art curator Tokini Peterside and media personality Banky W. amongst others.[2] Sports careerAdeagbo started Track and Field competition in highschool.
