Kechi after the accident |

Confidence is something that Kechi Okwuchi has plenty of even though this wasn’t always the case. In 2005, the now 26-year-old was a passenger in the ill-fated Sosoliso Airlines Flight 1145 plane crash that took the lives of 107 people leaving Kechi and one other person as survivors.
She suffered third degree burns over 65% of her body and had to undergo several difficult surgeries in order for her to continue living life as normally as possible. And living a normal life is what Kechi is determined to do. In 2015, she graduated top of her class from the University of St. Thomas, America with a BBA in Economics. She even delivered the Commencement Speech. Since then, she has worked with a non-profit organization in Houston while also nursing a desire to work with either the United Nations (UN), World Bank or the World Health Organization (WHO).

I met this amazing lady on social media, Tic Toc. Let me tell you, she's definitely something special! I can hardly wait to read her book, MORE THAN MY SCARS (out on May 23,2022). She's the survivor, of a devastating plane crash! 107 other people perished! She is truly something Amazing. Bless all of her endeavors!
