Meet The Real Life
Chichi & Didi!
Chinyere Peace Amadi, Psy.D, (the real life Chichi) is a psychology professor, author, speaker, and coach. Specifically, she is the author of Why Do I Feel Like This? where she merges psychology and faith to encourage readers to listen to the hidden messages of their emotions rather than spiritually-bypass them.
Her work is inspired by her own journey, and thus she speaks from both personal and professional experience about the importance of recognizing one’s pain and transforming it into personal power and influence.
Notably, Dr. Peace has:
- delivered a TEDx talk about the impact of social media on mental health
- been invited to speak at UCLA, Yale, Pepperdine, Loyola Marymount, Biola, and Azusa Pacific University among others.
- been featured live on ABC NEWS, CBN News, Newsy, as well as in Women’s Health, Essence, Blavity, Propel Women, Relevant Magazine and other top podcasts and blogs.
A proud alum of UCLA & Azusa Pacific University, Peace enjoys journaling, reading, and hunting down the best iced lattes in town.
