One of the first things you notice about Ijeoma is her infectious smile. The Nigerian-born, American-raised blogger and entrepreneur holds a PhD in sociomedical sciences. As a public health historian her dissertation was on the rise of asthma in black urban America.
Aside from academia, Ijeoma has created a big online following thanks to her blog and YouTube channel. She uses her online platforms not only to share tips and trips on matters fashion, hair and most recently motherhood but also to give advice on how to run a blog and business and highlight Black-owned businesses which she showcases through her #IKBuysBlack hashtag.
The all-rounded Ijeoma is married to Jonathan Kola, a Kenyan, and they have a son. They recently relocated to Nairobi from the US.
We celebrate Ijeoma today because of her commitment to support Black-owned businesses as well as her drive to inspire women to pursue their passions.
