Description

Zibby is joined by the founder of She ROARs Chidiogo Akunyili-Parr to talk about her first book, I Am Because We Are, which combines a memoir of her life with an autobiography of her late mother, Dora Akunyili. Chidiogo shares moments from her family history and from her mother's tenure as a revered director-general of Nigeria's National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control that shaped her worldview as well as her empowering work ethic. She also tells Zibby about how her senses of intuition and spiritual guidance have grown stronger since working on this project and why she wants to use this strength to help other women grow.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/3tzCheXBookshop: https://bookshop.org/a/1264/9781487009632Subscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.
