Doc Peace — Nigerian-American, Transformational Speaker, & Empowerment Guru
A piece of her story
In developing countries such as Nigeria, the importance of education goes beyond just the enlightenment of the mind. A person who gets an education and secures a “respectful job” is a straight ticket out of lack into abundance for their family #BlackTax. Often, parents dictate to their children the profession they ought to engage in, and it usually revolves around being a doctor, an engineer, or a lawyer. In Nigeria, the title of “Mama Doctor” (mother of a doctor) sometimes carries the same prestige as the title of the First Lady. So it is little wonder why my guest on this episode was denied the freedom to choose a career path based on the things she loved, such as painting, speaking, or art. Years after pursuing an “acceptable” career in pharmacy and feeling empty, she stepped out to where she truly belongs and is currently on a mission to liberate others caught in a similar web.
Dr. Peace Uche is a doctor of pharmacy, transformational rhythmic speaker, empowerment guru, and radio show personality. She has guided hundreds of women in creating a life they deserve and desire by owning their innate gifts & talents and pursuing their passions.
Born in America to Nigerian parents and raised by a single mother and her three siblings…
