Meet a Changemaker: Doris Ekos Okundaye, Founder and CEO of True Ambassadors

For over 20 years, Doris has called Newham home, dedicating herself to improving residents’ well-being. In 2018, she founded True Ambassadors, a charity that promotes health, digital inclusion, and social connection through fitness sessions, health awareness events, and cultural programs. Inspired by her NHS experience and studies in business and law, Doris ensures vulnerable residents receive vital support. True Ambassadors collaborates with NHS, local council, universities, and community organizations to run impactful initiatives like “Tasty Tuesdays” and digital literacy workshops. Doris envisions expanding the charity’s reach, empowering young people and women, and fostering long-term community resilience. She welcomes volunteers and partners to help create a lasting legacy of health, education, and empowerment in Newham and beyond.
