About Us
Thrive As A Parent was founded by Tutu Folorunsho
Tutu Folorunsho, A successful mother, serial entrepreneur, and tech professional. She brings a wealth of personal experience and unwavering support to parents navigating the intricate journey of raising autistic children.
In the earlier phase of her journey as a parent raising a child on the spectrum, Tutu longed to connect with other parents who had walked in her shoes and had experienced life raising a young child with autism but could barely find any.
Someone who just "gets" it
With countless questions on her mind, she yearned for conversations with someone who just “gets” it. “It would have been nice to see a version of my son in an older person to know what they could be capable of achieving and to know who I needed to become to achieve that success, both in my personal life and in parenting.” Tutu wanted to be free to speak her mind and share her experiences as she raised her child. She wanted to discuss her struggles and celebrate milestones with someone who could relate without judgment. She longed for an outlet to share her progress, however small, with someone who could listen and empathize with her. Unable to find this support while raising Zion, she decided to offer it to others.
