Les mer Rooted and Rising with Chioma Okafor

A podcast that goes beyond job titles to uncover the personal stories, motivations, and identities of immigrants and changemakers. Through honest conversations, we explore what drives people, how their journeys have shaped them, and the ways they’re rising to create impact — in their communities and beyond. It’s about being grounded in where we come from and intentional about where we’re going.

Video Episode: Prescribing Partnership with Oge and Obi Mmagu

What does it take to balance two demanding medical careers, a thriving marriage, and the beautiful chaos of raising a family? In this deeply insightful episode, we sit down with the remarkable Dr. Obi and Dr. Oge, a married power couple who are both physicians. They open up about their journey, from their childhood influences that guided them toward service to the unexpected sacrifices they made along the medical path. Join us as they share their incredible love story, discuss how being in the same high-pressure profession strengthens (and sometimes challenges) their partnership, and reveal the intentional choices they make to preserve their individual identities while building a meaningful legacy for their children.

Video Episode: Navigating Life’s Crossroads with Emeka Amaraegbeni

In this episode of Rooted & Rising, I sit down with Emeka for an open and heartfelt conversation about resilience, ambition, and hope. Emeka reflects on the profound impact of losing his mother at an early age and how that loss shaped his outlook on life. We explore his journey from Lagos to Amsterdam, where he’s pursuing new career opportunities while staying deeply connected to his roots. Along the way, he shares the ambitions that drive him, the lessons he’s carrying forward, and his vision for the future. It’s a story of strength, growth, and the courage to keep rising despite life’s hardest challenges.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
