About me
Kechi Amaefule is a radiant and relatable speaker, author and certified life coach who inspires others to continue striving for greatness despite life’s obstacles. Born in Seattle, WA and raised by her Nigerian parents, she was exposed to the idea that anything you want in this life is achievable with dedication, strategy, and resilience. This ideation kick started her mission to assist women and young girls in shifting their mindset to progress positively and it remains at the center of all that she does. In 2013, Kechi found herself pregnant in college, without stable support, and severely depressed. She went from being an honor roll student with a promising future, to living off government assistance and feeling hopeless with limited options and opportunities. With the birth of her first child in 2014 also came a burning desire to defeat her obstacles, tap into greatness within, and overcome the version of herself that believed her struggles defined her future. Today, Kechi lives in her purpose and exemplifies what can be accomplished when you make the decision to change your mind and take ownership of your life. Through speaking engagements, workshop curation/ facilitation, and her work as the Executive Director and Founder of the nonprofit "Mothers Impacting Lives Every day (MILE)", she empowers women and young girls to break down barriers and begin their journey of self-improvement and personal development. Her message to all she encounters is to understand that although you may run into detours, you can still make it to your destination through healing, perseverance and self-worth.
