Ke-leh-chee

 

That is how my name is pronounced. Now that is out of the way, hello! 

I am Kelechi Okafor and I'm a lover of words. I act, I direct and I write. I tweet and I dissect bits about society one podcast episode at a time. 

When I am not doing all of the above, I teach pole dance and twerk at my studio Kelechnekoff Fitness in Peckham. 

Society teaches us that we must fall into categories somehow. All I know is that I'm just a Baby Girl. 

Thank you for visiting my page, and I hope you find what you are looking for on this page and in this life (profound, I know).

"When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak." - Audre Lorde
