I'm Here Too Podcast

I’m Here Too Podcast

A podcast, hosted by Ara Tucker that explores the intersections of art, culture, creativity, family, identity and all that fills the spaces in between.

We all have a chance to make our own mark, our own impression. Big or small as it ends up being. What a freeing realization that has been for me. Don’t get me wrong. It’s been a long and circuitous road getting to the place where “I” feels authentic and where I don’t apologize for the way I walk through the world.

It took me a long time to get to here, a place where I will be seen and heard. But now that I’m here, I’m eager for some company. I look forward to sharing my journey with you, learning from others, and creating a space where we can feel more connected, inspired and safe to be ourselves.

Off we go!

Hi everybody, welcome to this episode of I’m Here Too. Today I’m talking to Onyedika Achilike about what it means when you grow up with entrepreneurship as a way of life designed to provide necessities and not a passion project. She shares how her definition of stability has evolved over time and lessons learned (and unlearned) along the way during her time in venture capital investing and  building her own businesses in a variety of industries including wellness and recruiting.

Off we go, enjoy.
