Dr. Maggie Chinyere Offoha is a Nigerian American writer, poet, and Doctor of Functional Medicine whose words rise from decades of clinical service, lived experience, and deep compassion. Through poetry and testimony, she tells the stories many are afraid to tell and many are unable to speak.
A Life of Healing, Service, and Storytelling
From the hospital bedside to the pages of poetry, Dr. Maggie Chinyere Offoha’s journey is one of resilience, empathy, and purpose. A former ICU nurse and medical laboratory technologist, she has spent decades caring for the sick, comforting the vulnerable, and witnessing the silent struggles of humanity.
Her transition into writing was not a departure from medicine, it was an expansion of it. Through words, she continues to heal, educate, and advocate for those whose stories often go unheard.
Each book by Dr. Maggie Offoha is a reflection of lived realities, stories shaped by culture, suffering, strength, and the enduring human spirit.
Children of Gaza: Their Story Must Be Told is a moving literary memorial, a collection of poems, reflections, and testimonies that give voice to the silenced hearts of Gaza’s children. Through vivid imagery and soulful language, Maggie Offoha transforms grief into remembrance, and remembrance into resistance.
Within the captivating pages of “Return to Where I Belong,” readers embark on a heat wrenched journey alongside the protagonist, Ugonna, whose unwavering determination propels him from the challenges of economic hardship in Nigeria to the promise of a better life in America. As a fresh graduate burdened with familial expectations, Ugonna yearns to pursue opportunities abroad. Yet, his dreams clash with his role as the first son of a king, whose desire is for Ugonna to assume the throne upon his father’s passing.
Whether through books, poetry, or conversation, Dr. Maggie invites readers, educators, and advocates to engage with stories that matter.
