- After enduring a life of abuse and struggle, Rochelle Okoye eloquently and passionately demonstrates how to turn your pain into power and how to evolve through these very experiences. She teaches that light can only be understood with the wisdom of darkness and that we each have the choice to be the victim or victor of our own stories. Rochelle has found a true path to healing and has modeled a way to successfully stand in her power through overcoming her pain and many adversities. She now teaches others how to do the same.
Rochelle’s TEDx talk will empower you to take responsibility for your life, your wounds, and your traumas. She teaches you how to heal them and how to embrace the pain, as it is meant to elevate you and propel you closer to your purpose. She challenges you to find the blessings in your lessons, and the light in your darkness - to forgive, let go and evolve into the best version of yourself. Rochelle Okoye is a world-renowned Professional, Hollywood Stunt Woman, and Actress, Best Selling Author, Motivational Speaker & Co-Owner of Tristar Vancouver Martial Arts.
Rochelle grew up as an International Gymnast on the Great Britain Gymnastics Team and was a 2000 Olympic hopeful. After retiring from gymnastics, Rochelle graduated high school a year early and attained a Bachelors of Science degree in Psychology from the University of Northern British Columbia. Following her graduation, Rochelle began working with children with developmental disabilities, mental illnesses, and behavioural problems. Although an extremely rewarding job, Rochelle was missing her athletic endeavours. She began competing and fighting in Brazilian, Muay Thai, as well as Amateur and Professional Boxing. From there, Rochelle fell into her current Professional Stunting and Acting career. Rochelle can be found, both on the big screen and your television, starring in numerous Hollywood, Blockbuster Movies and Television shows, such as, the X-men Franchise, War for Planet of the Apes, Deadpool, Twilight, The Flash, Supergirl, The 100, Arrow, just to name a few.
Rochelle’s books and motivational talks focus on guiding others, on how to tap into their magic, stand in their power through overcoming their adversities, to create the life of their dreams. After facing and conquering a life full of adversity and succeeding, Rochelle is an advocate for women empowerment and helping to heal humanity; she speaks to our youth, future generations and adults and is a walking example of how you can turn a life of adversity into a life of diversity, power and abundance. She teaches others that light can only be understood through the wisdom of darkness, and through introspection and self-love we are all capable of becoming the best versions of ourselves. You can purchase her Best Selling book, ‘With Every Damn Brick,’ on Amazon. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
