“I walked through fire, carried grace through pain” – Uche Ogbodo recalls her storms as she turns 40

It is the 40th birthday of Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo.

To mark her new age, the movie star, via her Instagram page, shared breathtaking photos of herself, declaring this new era as her Goddess era.

Ogbodo recalled how she walked through fire, danced through pain, carried grace through pain, and still emerged softer than silk and stronger than gold.

The delectable screen goodness said this new season isn’t just her birthday, it’s her coronation as a goddess.

“Chapter 40 – The Goddess Era

I walked through fire, danced through storms, carried grace through pain, and still emerged softer than silk and stronger than gold.
This new season isn’t just a birthday… It’s my Coronation as a Goddess”.

While counting down to her birthday, Uche spoke about her fears, admitting that she is still in fear of the unknown, menopause and what ifs – the quiet maybes she doesn’t always say out loud. However, she has chosen joy and gratitude to live and, most importantly, slay like a goddess.

In a previous post, she shared sultry photos of herself, noting how 40 is knocking, and she didn’t come this far to shrink. Ogbodo said fear is there, but so is power, beauty and God.

Weeks ago, she had celebrated her strength as she reflected on her trials. She disclosed that there was a season in her life when the weight of everything almost broke her, and she questioned everything, even her will to keep going. Now, she stands stronger, wiser, and more resilient.

The mother of three recently announced that she was entering a new phase and had broken off baseless friendships. Ogbodo said she was already done with stupīd, baseless, and selfish friendships. She informed the public that if you don’t like her, she doesn’t like them, as she is her aura for the aura phase.

A year back, Ogbodo had sent a message to her critics and haters, noting how it took her quite a long time to develop a voice. She stated that she wouldn’t allow anyone to silence her and vowed to use her voice to propel positivity and justice wherever she feels or sees injustice.

In a different news, Uche had voiced out over the entertainment industry which she described as dark. The mother of three exposed the industry, as she admonished her colleagues to be happy for others so that good things can come their way.

The light-skinned actress had penned useful advice to her single colleagues who are planning to get married, admonishing them to marry within the industry to preserve one’s marriage. She went on to narrate the importance of marrying from the industry and made a case for the females in the industry, saying they make the best wives.
