Ekene Ogogor
My name is Ekene Ogogor. I was born in Laramie Wyoming but spent my early childhood in Houston before moving to Missouri during highschool. I have been a pharmacist for over two decades in both hospital and retail settings. In that time I have seen how community support, health and safety go hand in hand. I believe in the power of connection, healing and prevention. I am honored to be a part of an organization focused on strengthening the community, by managing what contributes to violence in communities. When I am not working, I enjoy playing ping pong, riding a motorcycle and spending quality time with my spouse and three kids.
