Meet Tochukwu Okafor | Writer & Electrical Engineer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Tochukwu Okafor and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tochukwu, is there a quote or affirmation that’s meaningful to you?
The Serendipity Prayer: “God, grant me the serenity to accept that which I cannot change; the courage to change what I can, and the wisdom to know the difference, Amen.”

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am most proud when I’m able to create anything new or contribute to my team’s work. It was never easy getting to where I am today. It still isn’t. I have struggled with depression, self-doubt, anxiety, and imposter syndrome. But I’m grateful for my friends, family, and support systems, who remind me that I matter. That my work matters. I find that having a sense of community helps. It is important that I remind myself, always, I do not walk the path that I walk alone.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I’m a book nerd, so please visit the Lighthouse Writers’ Workshop in Denver and support them by donating your money or time.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I’ll like to dedicate this shoutout to my late father. My father passed away in the middle of the covid19 pandemic. I thought that losing him meant losing myself. But he would have loved for me to continue my work on this earth: being happy and making him proud whenever I can.
