Her leadershp and advocacy were greatly instrumental in securing $11.5 million grant for the University of Connecticut to install air filters in every classroom across the state. The historic funding, which will install filtration systems ine very calssroom across Connecticut, is widely recognized as a direct result of her unwavering advocacy, visionary leadership, and tenacious commitment.

She was also honored by the Martin Luther King Jr. Foundation at the MLK Jr. Beloved Community Awards in Atlanta in January 2025, an official citation from Connecticut's Governor, Ned Lamont.

Shokunbi's message has resonated far beyond the United States. In May 2025, she served as the Keynote Youth Speaker at the Africa Raw Materials Summit in Abuja, Nigeria, at the invitation of the Nigerian Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology. She shares her journey not only as an enviornmental health advocate but also as a young leader who has navigated institutional resistance with resilience, courage, and determination. Today, Shokunbi has taken her story and vision to audiences nationwide and around the world, inspiring students, educators, policymakers, and community leaders, about the urgent need to take action for healthier leanrning environments.
