What Is Data Living?
Data Living is not a training platform. It's a visibility, connection, and support space for anyone navigating the data space — especially those who often feel unseen.
Stay accountable
Join accountability spaces, challenges, and monthly goals.
Be visible
Share wins and get featured — visibility that helps your story travel.
Letter from the Founder
Hi, I'm Favour. I started Data Living because I know firsthand what it feels like to navigate the data space alone. I transitioned into data from a different background, and in those early days, I often found myself overwhelmed, unsure, and isolated. I craved not just answers, but a sense of belonging — a space where I could ask questions freely, share my growth, and meet people who understood the journey.
This community was built with you in mind — for support, for connection, for those moments when you feel stuck and need a push, or when you win and want to share it with people who get it. You don't have to do this alone.
— Favour Ibude, Founder
