How Depression Saved My Life

In 2016, Chude Jideonwo quit his job as CEO of one of Nigeria’s top PR firms to find a new mission. He soon faced clinical depression and considered suicide.

During this period, he was inspired by a conversation between Oprah Winfrey and Brené Brown on Super Soul Sunday. This pivotal moment led him to become the host of the viral talk show #WithChude, a director of award-winning films, and the founder of withchude.com, a platform telling stories from Africa that promote mental, emotional and spiritual health.

People often ask him why individuals share deep secrets on his channel and how he inspires such openness. Now, he is sharing his own story of healing and transforming suffering into growth and joy.
