Lauretta Nkwocha is the manifestation of the word, “celebrate.” She is one of the most effervescent, loyal, fun, dedicated and joyous people Suzanne knows and NEVER misses a chance to celebrate milestones, friends, and family. All the time.
In this two-part episode, Lauretta takes us on a journey from her birth in London, back to Nigeria, and back to London again, and how her heritage and family experiences, tragedies, and triumphs have caused her to never take anything for granted and to value every second of every day. We hope you feel like celebrating while listening, and long after, as well!
