Chika Okoro is a speaker, a champion for women of color, and an advocate for self-love. Passionate about race and gender issues, she is excited to help women of color develop their inner confidence and combat the negative messages that society often throws at them.

Her TEDx talk “Confessions of a D Girl: Colorism and Global Standards of Beauty” confronts the damaging effects that colorism has on women and girls, and has been viewed over 1 million times all over the world. By tackling topics such as self-love, self-worth, and imposter syndrome, Chika shares how she has overcome these challenges in her own life, and demonstrates how others can also conquer these obstacles.
