Titilayo Mercy Babajide, widely known as Finance Queen, brings a rare blend of financial expertise and genuine advocacy to her role as Chief Editor of Duife Personal Finance Blog. Her career began in the world of public finance, where she built a sharp eye for detail and a deep understanding of how money moves through systems. But for Titilayo, finance was never just about balance sheets. It was a tool for empowering people, and that conviction eventually led her from corporate finance into policy work and impact consulting, where she could influence change on a much larger scale.

Beyond her editorial work, Titilayo is a dedicated mentor and financial literacy advocate who has guided more than 2,000 young people through workshops and programs designed to make personal finance simple and actionable. She has also worked closely with startup founders as a consultant and product manager, helping them turn ambitious ideas into workable plans. This hands-on experience across finance, policy and entrepreneurship shapes the practical, no-nonsense approach she brings to every piece published on Duife.

Titilayo is a graduate of Banking and Finance from the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti. At Duife, her mission is simple: to make financial literacy accessible to everyone, one article and one empowered reader at a time.
