Chinwendu “Chi-Chi” Maduegbunam is a sophomore attending Fayetteville State University. She is majoring in psychology and minoring in biology with hopes to attend medical school afterwards. Chi-Chi was born in Boston, Massachusetts to Osita Maduegbunam, a Nigerian chief, and her mother, Nigeria Johnson. With few opportunities in a crime-filled area, her parents decided to uproot their family and move to Charlotte, North Carolina. In Charlotte, Chi-Chi was presented with numerous opportunities, especially at her high school, Providence High School. There, she participated in a vast amount of extracurricular activities such as the community service club, multicultural club, and, most importantly, women’s basketball. Her involvement in basketball allowed her to join the Charlotte Lady Monarchs, a travel team allowing for college exposure.
