Her growing up days was marked with so many eventful experiences which shaped her worldview and ignited in her the altruistic passion towards others.

Nwaoma recalls while growing up that her mother was always taking food stuffs and toiletries to those in need back to her home town in Imo State.

Her mother also regularly gave out cooked food to poor families who lived around the neighborhood where she operated a popular restaurant in Benin City.

Her kitchen was the toast of many in the 90s for reasons bothering on the freshness of the dishes and the charity with which that kitchen was associated with in the Lagos street area of the City.

Groomed in such ambience of charity and hard work, it surprises no one that knows Nwaoma that she would take on the part of sacrificing for others to have a better life.

Nwaoma’s days in school was characterized by a beautiful showing of herself as a sports person.

Her superlative performance in gymnastics earned her a place in the state team but for the conservative nature of her parents who thought it was going to be a distraction to her studies. Nwaoma also ventured into Acting and Modeling while she was in Nigeria before her sojourn to Europe for trainings and business.
