Where Does Your Ambition Meet Your Purpose?
Join author May Ijisesan for the Silicon Valley Girl book tour. An immersive experience blending curated readings, reflective dialogue, and honest conversations about calling, courage, and the real-life decisions we make along the way.
Meet May Ijisesan
May Ijisesan is a mentor, minister, and author whose life and work are a testament to the power of a purpose-driven path.
Born in Nigeria, May’s journey led her to the United States, where she built a successful career as a software and hardware engineer in the heart of Silicon Valley. In the world’s most competitive ecosystem, she honed her skills in leadership and problem-solving, navigating the high-stakes pressures of the tech industry. Yet, it was there, amidst the drive for performance and achievement, that she discovered a profound truth: professional success alone cannot answer the deeper questions of identity and calling.
This realization sparked a gradual, faith-led transition from the corporate world into global ministry. In an act of courage and obedience, May stepped away from a thriving career to embrace a new definition of success—one rooted in purpose and trust.
Today, her mission is to create spaces for the very conversations she once navigated alone. Through her writing, speaking, and mentorship, May helps women explore what it means to pursue excellence without losing their soul, lead with integrity, and follow their calling even when the path is uncertain.
