Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Chiamaka Obika. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your background and context?
My name is Chiamaka Obika. I am a Nigerian baby girl, based in the United State. Living a life of grace, and joy, and loving the Lord wholesomely is my vibe. I love love to see women shine and progress in life.
For me, GLOW and GROWTH are personal.
After struggling to overcome my fear and limiting mindset for years, I finally decided to do something about it. What started as a quest to conquer my insecurities, get uncomfortable and start showing up confidently has turned into WomenTakingSpaces. The Glow Up Movement.
Through this movement, you get inspired to step into who you are called to become, break up with self-doubt, and fear, start living life confidently, and take up space and GLOW.
This movement will cheer you on to glow up, level up, evolve, surrender, and rest in God’s amazing grace. I want to see you live boldly, live a happy life, and conquer your life’s dreams.
WomenTakingSpaces is a movement and safe space for every woman who is ready to let go of her fears and self-doubt so that they can take up their God given space and experience glow-up in all aspects of their lives.
The glow-up movement is one modeled after Esther and Ruth in the bible, who took uncomfortable actions to get their deliverance, to shine their light to the world, take up space and reclaim their glow.
They did not wallow in their traumas of being an orphan and a widow instead they took on the mandate to impact lives. They did this by going for their dreams and confidently stepping into their God-given space with the guidance from the people God placed in their lives and the wisdom and grace of God. They are WomenTakingSpaces. So we are!
Our Pillars of Success are:
• Intentional Actions
• God’s Grace
• Affirmations
• Glow-care
• Surrender
• Courage
• Love

Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?
I have been inspired and motivated by many amazing podcasts, great preachers and beautiful written books but I have been most inspired by learning to read and study the Bible. I have all my answers in there, encouragements, directions, caution, prayers, everything. I highly recommend spending time with God’s word.
