A tribute to My beloved Auntie Chizo
My aunt was one of the most intelligent and vibrant people I’ve ever known. We shared a special bond through our work in the medical field, and she always inspired me to keep going, even on the hardest days. She was incredibly supportive, not just to me but to everyone in our family—always the first to show up and help, no matter what. What made her even more special was how fun and hip she was—I could talk to her about the latest music, workout classes, and just life. I’ll never forget when she dropped everything to take me to the dentist after I chipped my tooth playing basketball. Her love was that deep and that constant. I will miss her so much, but I’ll always be grateful for the time we had, the light she brought, and the memories that will stay with me forever.
Love, Your niece, Dr. Erinma Ogwumike
