Dr Ifunanya Igweze is a passionate advocate, author, and social entrepreneur in the health sector. She is the founder and lead educator at Preggify, a fast-growing health-tech startup offering mobile antenatal, maternal and childcare services to career women and young female professionals. There’s something for everyone in our interview as we navigate through Ifunanya’s experiences and why she’s passionate about what she does. In this conversation we discuss: ~ The incredible story of how Ifunanya became a doctor. ~ What led Ifunanya to the establish her business, Preggify, the services it offers, and how the services are facilitated for pregnant mothers and their spouses. ~ What a woman’s spouse can do to support them. ~ And, along the same token, what employers can do to support pregnant mothers. ~ Some of the challenges Ifunanya is presently facing as she establishes her business and what ways our community support can support Preggify to grow. And, flipping the formula, Ifunanya asks me a doozy of a question that goes into detail why my husband and I want to move to Nigeria, and our long-term legacy we want to achieve to better the country.
