• It's said that not all heroes wear capes. Well, some wear scrubs! In today's edition of Momigo, we had a quick interview with one of the leading voices in health tech, Dr. Chioma, popularly known as Dr. Zobo. She uses her versatile platform to educate the public about their health and demystifies age-long harmful medical practices. When she's not saving lives, she's also a wife and a mother to a handsome boy. She proves that you can do anything you set out to do as a mom and homemaker. Let's get into it!

• BM: Tell us a bit about yourself.
•  

My name is Dr. Chioma Nwakanma. I'm a medical doctor, sexual and reproductive health physician, and public health professional. I'm the founder of the Smile With Me Foundation. An NGO that leverages digital health and education to build the bridge between consumers and health care providers in Nigeria. Primarily catering to low-income communities in Nigeria and Africa. 

Our core value is cancer prevention and reproductive healthcare. We offer preventive healthcare services to low and middle-income earners. I'm also a communications director at Medically Speaking Africa. Where I also go by "Dr. Zobo." I break down healthcare myths by fact-checking these sources as a healthcare influencer. I also use the medium to share medical and healthcare information in exciting ways.

• BM: What does motherhood mean to you?
•  

Hmmmm… It's a journey that you keep learning every day. It's a learning curve. Personally, as much as external factors like parents and family, it's personal for everyone. And enjoy it even during the highs and lows. Keep your mind open for anything during this journey.

• BM: What was your experience being a first-time mom?
•  

It's been exciting, and it comes with highs and lows, as I mentioned earlier. You have an exceptional human being in your care. And you will do your best to ensure you care for the baby and yourself. 

Being a first-time mom has taught me about patience and self-control than I ever knew. And also, the fact that I'm living for someone is mind-blowing. People talk about dying for someone; living for the people we love is equally important. It has been a beautiful journey so far.
