Her Life Story
Eight chapters chronicling a life of purpose.
Roots in Umuochuba, Agba Village
Born in 1965 in Umuochuba, Agba Village, Ekwulobia to Mr. Mathew and Mrs. Caroline Ekemezie (née Ezeonwu). Overcoming the early loss of her mother at age three, she blossomed through discipline and educational excellence.
