K’odi Taylor struggled with undiagnosed ADHD for most of his life, and, despite excelling in school, his challenges with social interactions and childhood trauma led to early substance use. After hitting a low point, K’odi went travellling and developed a deep love for languages. He began learning his own Indigenous language and launched a business to create resources for kids. But his struggles worsened after his father’s passing. Getting diagnosed with ADHD was a turning point. With a new understanding of how his brain worked, K’odi began dedicating himself to his work and spreading ADHD awareness, hoping to help others unlock their potential.
