Kelechi Okafor aka Kelechnekoff is an actor, director, and dance innovator who facilitates self-actualization through dance. Kelechi opened Kelechnekoff Fitness Studio in 2016 and has since been featured (twice!) as one of the top ten fitness classes to attend by Timeout London. Kelechi has built her platform on talking honestly about fitness, pole dancing, and societal structures. Since announcing her pregnancy in February 2019, Kelechi has shared her experiences of exercising and keeping fit during pregnancy. As a qualified Antenatal and Postnatal Personal Trainer, she was able to demonstrate a wellness-focused pregnancy. Kelechi's quick wit and thoughtful Instagram stories have provided a great space for her weekly podcast, Say Your Mind, to thrive. Kelechi created the character #SallyInHR as a way to address the micro and macro aggressions faced by marginalized communities in the workplace

We discussed:

• Motherhood
• How politicians and the ELITE judge and label people
• Her Podcast Structure
• Her ability to be 'Directly Articulate'
• Combining Fitness and Acting
• Parental Expectations
• Her time at Liverpool Hope University
• Literature

It was an absolute pleasure to host a genius of a woman who, despite all the odds, has created a fantastic fitness brand; social commentates superbly well and delivers excellent content on her podcast 'Say Your Mind'. Kelechi is an inspiration! She's frank, unafraid to speak boldly, and is creating value for the world.
