Adegoke Dayo Julius

Fellow (2025 Cohort 1)

As a graduate of Economics with an outstanding academic record, I initially thought I had a strong grasp of free market concepts. However, my participation in the Face of Liberty Free Market Fellowship has completely reshaped my understanding.

The theoretical knowledge I gained at university about capitalism and free market economies barely scratched the surface. This fellowship provided a deep dive into the practicality, usefulness, and real-world applications of free market principles. Having experts break down the complexities of the system, along with engaging book reviews, practical discussions, and interactive learning sessions, has significantly enriched my expertise as an economist.

One of the most eye-opening aspects was exploring the role of government investments, involvement, and participation in a free market economy. The detailed explanation of David Ricardo’s Comparative Cost Advantage Theory was simply mind-blowing!

I highly recommend this fellowship to economists, policymakers, and even those without an economic background. You will gain insights beyond imagination and develop a fresh perspective on economic systems. If you’re looking to expand your knowledge and engage in thought-provoking discussions, don’t miss the next cohort!

Lawrence Nacidze

Fellow (2025 Cohort 1)

The Free Market Fellowship by Face of Liberty International has been a transformative experience in my advocacy journey for free markets and personal liberty. It deepened my understanding of economic freedom and reinforced my commitment to policies that empower individuals and businesses. It has helped refined my ability to articulate and defend free-market ideas with confidence.

A key takeaway was realizing how I can use my writing skills for policy advocacy. The program taught me how to craft compelling arguments, translate complex economic principles into accessible content and influence public discourse. This has strengthened my ability to write policy proposals, op-eds and research pieces that promote economic freedom.

I also had an opportunity to interact and network with passionate individuals from other backgrounds and learnt from them. I believe this is another step in what i stand for.

Aliyah Adunola

Fellow (2025 Cohort 1)

My experience in the Free Market Fellowship has been both eye-opening and, quite honestly, deeply inspiring. Initially, I joined with only a basic understanding of economic concepts. However, as the sessions progressed, the way complex ideas were broken down and tied to real-life situations allowed me to see things from an entirely new perspective. As a result, I’ve started thinking more critically about the systems that shape our society and, more importantly, how freedom and responsibility are essential in building a thriving community.

Moreover, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to engage with other fellows—hearing diverse viewpoints, exchanging ideas, and learning from one another. Altogether, it has been a space that encourages growth, sparks reflection, and nurtures meaningful conversations. Ultimately, I feel incredibly grateful to be part of such a transformative journey.
