The future Dr. Akalonu, a student of Mass Communication at the University of South Carolina, grew up in Nigeria and speaks three languages. She applied to SCCL for our academically accredited internship because of her strong belief in the sanctity of human life beginning with
conception. Her pro-life beliefs are rooted in her strong Christian faith.
Chinwendu (Tchi when’ du) has an impressive resumé that includes social media management, community relations management, digital media management, and digital marketing officer. She chose SCCL for her internship because “I am most
excited about the impact that I am going to make.” Promoting the pro-life message will have a “tangible impact, so I’m really excited about that. I really want to make a change in somebody’s life,” she said.
An interesting fact about Chinwendu is the meaning of her name. In her native language, Chinwendu means
“God owns life.”
We are honored that Chinwendu chose SCCL for her internship and we are looking forward to learning as much from her as she will learn from us.
