Hear an inspiring story of love and acceptance on this episode of Hope Unabridged, as Kasey and Angie sit down with Nigerian-American singer and motivational speaker, Kechi Okwuchi.
The first thing you will notice when you meet Kechi is her scars. One of just two survivors of a devastating plane crash that killed more than 100 people, 16-year-old Kechi was left with third-degree burns over 65 percent of her body.
Through it all, Christ has been the key to her perseverance. Her story is not one of just surviving impossible odds, but also thriving in a world that is too often caught up with how we look on the outside rather than seeing that our true value is within.
Kechi’s memoir ‘More Than My Scars’ released on March 29th of this year, and her self-titled debut album is currently streaming on all digital music platforms.
