Dr. Ejemeh Okojie persevered. Married to Deacon Godwin Okojie and blessed with three children, Dr. Okojie was a compassionate, mission-minded leader committed to service and aid. Dr. Okojie, a Jewel, desired that all ladies would cherish themselves as Jewels.

Dr. Okojie spent most of her childhood in Northern Ireland and attended college at the University of Benin in Nigeria. While her initial intention was to practice in adult medicine, through God’s direction, she completed medical school and residency at the Children’s Hospital of New Jersey and Newark Beth Israel Hospital. Dr. Okojie was a practicing pediatrician with over twenty years of work experience. She owned a pediatric and adolescent care practice located in Baltimore, Maryland.

This Jewel remained passionate about helping others, understanding, communicating, and relating with women. She enjoyed speaking with women and learning their life experiences. Dr. Okojie and her family committed a major part of their lives to community outreach.

Dr. Okojie’s encouragement to anyone confronted with failure was to gain composure, persevere, and discover a path to success because it is achievable.
