“I’ve Seen Single Mothers Raise Kings, Leaders” — Ugoccie Osawaru Empowers Women Through Coaching

Lagos, Nigeria – Ugoccie Osawaru, a renowned Nigerian parenting coach and founder of the “Raising Kings” initiative, is making waves with her empowering message: single mothers are not just surviving—they’re raising future kings and leaders.

Drawing from her personal journey as a single mother of three, including a son on the autism spectrum, Osawaru has developed a coaching program tailored specifically for African American single mothers raising sons. Her approach combines lived experience with over a decade of professional counseling expertise, offering a unique blend of empathy and actionable strategies.

⁠“I’ve walked this path firsthand,” Osawaru shares on her platform. “My guidance isn’t solely based on textbooks—it’s based on real life, real wins, and real lessons.” [1]

A Culturally Relevant Approach

Osawaru’s program addresses challenges often overlooked by mainstream parenting resources, such as:

•⁠ ⁠Navigating the complexities of raising young Black boys in today’s society
— Coping with the emotional and psychological effects of father absence

•⁠ ⁠Managing fears about societal treatment and ensuring children’s safety

Her coaching emphasizes building emotional intelligence, self-esteem, and resilience in both mothers and their sons. Through weekly one-on-one coaching calls, personalized strategies, and a wealth of resources, Osawaru provides a roadmap for mothers striving to break generational cycles and foster strong, healthy relationships with their children.

Building a Community

Beyond individual coaching, Osawaru is cultivating a supportive community of like-minded single mothers committed to raising empowered young men. This network offers a space for sharing experiences, challenges, and victories, reinforcing the message that no mother has to navigate this journey alone.

⁠“I’m not just helping you raise boys—I’m helping you raise kings,” Osawaru affirms. [1]

A Broader Perspective

Osawaru’s mission resonates with broader discussions about the impact of single mothers in society. As highlighted in various narratives, many individuals raised by single mothers have gone on to achieve significant success, underscoring the profound influence these women have. [2]
