Kechi is short for Nkechi, or God’s Gift in the Igbo language native to southeast Nigeria. Kechi Amaefule has been a gift to Seattle. The community organizer and non-profit executive founded Mothers Impacting Lives Everyday (MILE) in 2022, the King County-based empowerment and mentorship non-profit serving mothers from BIPOC communities with children (prenatal to five), at-risk girls 11 to 24, and survivors of domestic violence.
Most recently, MILE has collaborated with a group of girls to produce the documentary film “Clock It- The Voices They Can't Ignore,” which will premiere on Friday at 6:30 pm at ArtLove Salon.
According to a statement by MILE, guests can expect, “an inspiring evening where Black and Brown girls take center stage to share their lived experiences and challenge our community to think differently about youth mental health.”
Amaefule has held executive positions at local non-profits such as the Why Not You Academy (funded by former Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson) and the South King County-based youth mentorship program Pro Se Potential.
