Grace and Grit: My Journey of Faith, Purpose and Leadership

What does it take to build a life of purpose when the path is rarely straight?Grace and Grit is the story of Ifeoma Charles-Monwuba a woman who came of age in the shadow of the Nigerian Civil War and went on to forge a career spanning communication, public health, development practice, and demanding institutional leadership across Nigeria and beyond.Written with clarity rather than sentiment, this autobiography traces the choices that shaped a life: education pursued at personal cost, integrity held under pressure, and responsibility accepted when retreat would have been easier. From the intimate rhythms of family and faith to the rigours of organisational reform and cross-border work, Charles-Monwuba charts a journey that is both deeply personal and universally instructive.At its heart, Grace and Grit returns again and again to a single conviction: grace sustains, but grit must answer it.For anyone navigating faith, ambition, and the long work of becoming the leader they were meant to be this is your book.
