Khalilah “KO” Olokunola

Founder, Re-Engineering HR

As the founder of a firm that helps companies align their people with their goals and focuses on hiring practices for underserved talent, Olokunola uses technology to stay motivated, connect to colleagues and family and stay up to date with news and industry happenings.

Newspapers and magazines she reads include WILMA, GWBJ, StarNews, Greater Diversity News, The New York Times, Forbes, Black Enterprise and HR Magazine.

Her favorite blogs include peopleHum, This is going to be BIG, Andreessen Horowitz, Red Rocket Ventures and Cup of Jo.

Favorite podcasts are Small Giants for stories of everyday people making an incredible impact; Unlocking Us “because it sparks conversations that search deep for a part of people that is often hidden and not talked about”; and The Gary Vee Show for inspiration, information and insight around marketing, business and personal development.

Untapped Talent and Atomic Habits are two books she recommends. 

“I am a huge Marvel/DC Comics fan. I grew up reading comic books, so my favorite movie is Avengers: Endgame. I always find a message within the movie – it literally shows how teamwork makes the dream work."
