LBW 023: Meet Justina Udoh, Author, Speaker and Ladybrille Woman of the Month, July 2015!

How do you overcome tremendous challenge to scale through to success? How do you handle the discovery of a dark family history that has a direct impact on who you are?  Justina Udoh, a motivational speaker and author of ‘Dancing Through the Storm,’ understands intimately well what it means to face life’s unending curve balls.

The daughter of a Nigerian diplomat who relocated to the United States when she was a teenager, Udoh joins host of The Ladybrille Woman Podcast Show, Ms. Uduak, for an inspiring discussion on hardships, triumphs, discovering a dark family history, forgiveness, hope and her faith in God. She is Ladybrille Woman of the Month for July 2015.

A running feature for eight years, The ‘Ladybrille Woman of the Month’ celebrates women who empower themselves and others through their contributions and actions in their local and international communities. These women are intelligent, courageous, confident, and innovative. They strive for balance in their personal lives (whether emotionally, mentally, and spiritually), are persistent, and when they fall, they get right back up. These women honor and stand in their truths. They are business and community leaders, visionaries, trailblazers and game changers. They are our sisters, aunties, mothers, friends and so much more. They are “Ladybrille” (brilliant) women. In 2014, the Ladybrille Woman feature expanded to include a podcast show, ‘The Ladybrille Woman Podcast’ Show also periodically extends to Ladybrille men in a special feature.
