Ada (Antonina) Ada Okenve Obiang is a Master's student in Social Research Methods at the University of A Coruña (Spain).

After completing her high school education in her home country, Equatorial Guinea, at the age of 18 she moved to Spain to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Psychology at the Miguel Hernández University of Elche and Barcelona University, with the intention of specializing in educational psychology. However, she eventually leaned towards the field of social psychology, demonstrating a particular interest in social behavior research.

Before moving to Spain, she won the Short Story Prize Guinea Escribe 2018 for her story "Hiedra". Since then, she has participated in literary anthologies such as "Light for All: a sample beyond the voices of the imaginary" [¨Luz para todos: voces más allá del imaginario¨] (compiled by Caballero, Boturu, and Eteo, 2019). She has also collaborated on Afro-community projects like African Projects, Puerta de África, or Plataforma Cero. In February 2023, she presented her Final Degree Research Project: "The Lies We Were Told," a study on the relationship between contextual variables, self-confidence, and entrepreneurial behavior in the Equatoguinean population. In June of the same year, she published a research article on the relationship between innovative behavior and the Big Five personality traits in Spanish higher education students (Okenve and de Haro García, 2023), as part of the DACIU research program. As part of her Final Research Master's thesis, she’s doing research to study the way interpersonal and institutional trust displays with the intention of entrepreneuring collectively among young African entrepreneurs.

Besides working on her own platform on social media where she talks about afro hair care and acceptance, currently she collaborates in the "Community and Ink" section on the web platform, Textura Afro, where she writes articles about behavior and dynamics related to Afro hair in the African continent and the diaspora.
