Ngozi Onwuchekwa

Ngozi Onwuchekwa is a writer, keynote speaker, award-winning digital marketer, former Mrs Exceptional Lady Universe, and cancer survivor. In 2024, she gave her first TEDx Talk in Cambridge, titled “How to Overcome Fear and Thrive”, a video which has been viewed over 2,500 times in four months.

Diagnosed with the rare cancer Rhabdomyosarcoma during the pandemic, Ngozi Onwuchekwa underwent 12 months of of chemotherapy and surgeries, including a hysterectomy, but can now declare herself in remission. It was this diagnosis and subsequent treatments that spurred a completely new lease of life.

In 2023 she represented the United Kingdom and won the Mrs Exceptional Lady Universe at the Mrs Universe pageant in Miam; this triumph gave her a new found self-confidence, and she now works to help others understand the early signs of the disease, and how to stand up for yourself within the healthcare system.

Since her diagnosis, she has begun fundraising for cancer charities, is training for the New Forest 2025 Half Marathon and the Goodwood 2025 Half marathon and was even invited to Downing Street as recognition of her fundraising efforts.
