Chika Uwazie is a globally recognized writer, speaker, and cultural commentator helping a generation navigate identity shifts, emotional reinvention, and the quiet grief of becoming someone new. Her work lives at the intersection of emotional clarity, soft power, and soulful storytelling, offering language for the feelings so many high-achievers were never taught to name.

She is best known for giving voice to timeline grief—a phrase she introduced to capture the silent mourning that happens when life doesn’t go as planned. Through her reflections on grief, growth, and self-trust, she has become a guide for those learning how to begin again, especially in the midst of transition.

Chika has built a digital platform of over 500,000+ deeply engaged readers, listeners, and followers, with her essays, interviews, and podcast clips reaching millions across the diaspora. She is the co-host and creative force behind The Afropolitan Podcast, one of Africa’s top-ranked shows exploring identity, legacy, and reinvention with iconic voices from across the globe.

Her voice has been featured in Forbes, ESSENCE, HelloBeautiful, WIRED, TechCrunch, and BBC. As a sought-after speaker, she’s shared the stage at Cannes Lions, SXSW, SALT, and World Economic Forum, offering emotionally intelligent insight on reinvention, cultural fluency, and the power of reflection. Whether through her words, or her voice, Chika invites us to stop performing and start remembering you’re not broken, you’re becoming.
