In a touching segment on the February 3 episode of TODAY, Ego Nwodim was surprised by her mother, Okey Nwodim. The show featured a heartfelt video interview of Okey discussing Ego’s adventurous nature and lively personality. After watching the clip, Ego enjoyed a live reunion with her mom, affirming their close relationship, which includes daily Facetime calls. Ego praised Okey for being a remarkable role model who taught her the importance of persistence and ambition, emphasizing that her mother’s journey through medical school inspired her own dreams of acting, following a biology degree from USC.
Being Ego's mom has been exciting to say the least because Ego is very adventurous and she's very lively... she never stops talking.
The way she is on camera is (the) way she is.
She just was an impeccable leader and example for us... what she's taught us is the power of persistence and ambition.
She went to med school after having the four of us.
