A respected lawyer, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, she continues to leave her mark across industries and inspire those around her.

Born on June 25, 1989, in Lagos, Nigeria, Chioma’s drive for excellence was evident from a young age.

In 2009, while still a student, Chioma took a bold step, co-founding Good Hair Ltd with her business partner, Kika Osunde.

What began as a simple idea fueled by passion blossomed into one of Africa’s most prestigious luxury hair brands.

Their success story continued with the creation of The Good Hair Space, a one-stop beauty hub in Lagos that represents innovation, elegance, and the empowerment of women.

Not stopping at beauty, Chioma and Kika ventured into hospitality with Brass & Copper, a restaurant and lounge that has become a vibrant meeting point for the Lagos elite.

But Chioma’s heart beats far beyond business.

Through the Chioma Ikokwu Start-up Fund Initiative, she has empowered countless small businesses, providing not just capital but mentorship and guidance.

Her dynamic presence extended beyond boardrooms and businesses into television with her role in The Real Housewives of Lagos.

Through the show, the world got a closer look at her charisma, intelligence, and the vibrant Lagos culture that shaped her.

Despite her success, Chioma remains grounded.
