Chioma Janelle Efejedia is a visionary mental health leader, registered social worker, and founder of OMA Life—a culturally grounded wellness app created to bridge the gap in mental health care for BIPOC communities. With over a decade of experience in the mental health and social service sectors, Chioma brings deep clinical insight, lived experience, and tech-forward innovation to her work.
OMA Life, which means “good life” or “beautiful life” in Igbo, is more than an app—it’s a movement toward accessible, relatable, and culturally resonant mental wellness. Under Chioma’s leadership, the platform offers AI-powered journal prompts, guided mindfulness exercises, a BIPOC therapist directory, and tools that honor the complexity of lived experiences often left out of mainstream wellness models.
Chioma’s work is rooted in a trauma-informed, strength-based approach. She is deeply committed to equity, community healing, and reimagining mental health care through a lens of cultural safety and digital inclusion. As a speaker, facilitator, and wellness strategist, she’s passionate about integrating technology with ancestral wisdom to support individual and collective transformation.
