Episode 161: Kechi Okwuchi

 

            Kechi Okwuchi was one of two survivors of a devastating plane crash that killed 107 passengers in Nigeria in 2005. Kechi sustained burns to her body, but her physical scares do not define her. She was a finalist for her singing talent on the 12th season of AGT in 2017, published a memoir five years later entitled More Than My Scars, and currently advocates for several causes close to her heart. Kechi's story is one of faith, honesty, and courage.

            Please enjoy the 161st episode of Lament of Hope highlighting Kechi Okwuchi. Kechi, thank you for sharing your story with the world. I am so grateful we got to connect and share an hour talking about life and dreams.
