Nneka's a problem-solver, cooking enthusiast, and social media savant who's also learning to see her sisters as individuals, not just family. We also get to hear about what she's watching these days, her aversion to surprise parties, and what she does when stopped in the airport (hehe).This is a conversation about breaking barriers, owning your narrative, and continuing to evolve into your best, multi-dimensional self…trust me, Nneka Ogwumike is a name you won't forget!!!God loves you. God sees you. Cheers to you, XO!For Gemma
