…but you can call me Luchi. I am married to the most amazing, loyal, loving and kind hearted man in the world. We are blessed with an adorable daughter. I met my husband in church, after an evening prayer service and he offered to give me a ride home. We became really good friends after that and three years later, we got married. Go figure!

My Faith

I certainly and most definitely cannot be who I am today, where I am today or have what I have today, if not for the Love, Grace and abundant Mercy of Jesus Christ. Through the help of the Holy Spirit, I am able to joggle all my responsibilities and still stand strong. Chaii! It can only be God, only Him can do these things and there is no one else like Him. I get inspired by the fact that I am alive and well, two hands, two legs and a brain that works! It is a blessing to wake up each day, so I cease every minute of it to be better and do better, while relying on God’s grace to do the impossible!

Why I Do What I Do

I started my blog to share my journey about going from relaxed hair to natural hair and also about by triumphs as well as challenges through having natural African textured hair. Right now it has evolved into something much more than that, because the learnings I got from caring for my own hair, translated to me being able to care for my own child’s hair and helping other mothers do same. It is my dream to see a world where mothers more able to raise their daughters that have naturally coily hairs to become leading women who are proud of their hair and without any sense of low self-esteem or scalp-health embarrassments.

The meaning behind “Muna and Luchi”

Muna and Luchi is a personal brand name coined from a combination of  my daughter’s name and my name.  Muna is short for Munachimso and Luchi for short for Oluchi. Both our names are in Igbo Language, Munachimso means “I am with my God” while my name, Oluchi means “God’s Work”. Together we both form a Mother – Daughter Team that aim to inspire and show you how you can nurture your hair as well as your baby’s hair.

My Quirks and Interests

I love everything about natural hair, or hair in general, I can talk about hair all day long. I love children and I enjoy spending time with them, teaching them about the world around them. I am extremely passionate about life, which is why I get fascinated about so many things and want to do everything, lol! I’ve had dreams about becoming a world class new-born and family photographer, I also have dreams of being a home-schooling mum. Right now I am pursuing my dream to become a world class certified trichologist, with focus on child hair and scalp care. I guess time will tell which one will eventually come true, lol!

If I were a recipe I would be made of…

Hot Cameroon pepper, some sugar, and a whole lot of salt! The rest you will find out when we see face to face…haha
