OUR STORY
In September 2019, Chidinma Ubah, the Founder of thebrydge, faced a devastating accusation. Just two days before her graduation, a lecturer accused her of plagiarising her final project, a claim rooted not in evidence but in prejudice—Chidinma was the only Black student in her class. Growing up, Chidinma endured relentless bullying and ridicule for both her intellect and her appearance. She was made to believe she was dumb, and her voice was stifled. It wasn’t until university that she discovered the truth: she wasn’t dumb; she had dyslexia, a learning difference. This revelation was the beginning of her journey to self-discovery and reclaiming her voice.

The accusation of plagiarism felt like a cruel affirmation of the negativity she had internalised for so long. She was shattered, but her faith in God helped her find strength and liberation. Determined to prove her worth, Dinma embarked on her master’s degree. Despite widespread scepticism, she believed in herself and knew that with God’s help, she would succeed brilliantly. Dinma’s journey was fraught with struggles and pain, but it ignited a powerful resolve within her. She realised she was meant for greatness, far beyond what her detractors could imagine. This realisation sparked the creation of thebrydge, a platform dedicated to empowering individuals to express their unique identities.
Thebrydge is a platform that focuses on bridging the inequality gaps between generations and socioeconomic backgrounds by sharing the love of Christ. Focuses on empowering, equipping and encouraging individuals to discover their unique identity and freedom in Christ through the transformative power of storytelling. Through thebrydge, Chidinma aims to be a voice for this generation and the next, encouraging people to share their stories and embrace their scars as badges of courage, not marks of shame. She seeks to show everyone that their voices are powerful, and their individuality is worth celebrating.
