Dr. Izuhunwa Amadasun is a Medical Doctor and current volunteer intern of IPOS’ Fundraising and Marketing Committee, who is dedicated to making a positive impact on the world. She has a deep passion for empowering individuals to achieve optimum health. Having battled stage 4 rectal cancer in her prime and emerged victorious, she has a unique understanding of the cancer burden, the necessity of being proactive about one’s health, and the importance of speaking up when needed.
She published her debut book titled ROOFTOP: My Struggles and Triumph Over Stage 4 Cancer, in which she chronicles her experiences in detail, hoping that others will find comfort, draw strength, and gain a better understanding of what a battle with cancer truly entails. Proceeds from the book are used to support psychotherapy treatment for select survivors. She is an advocate and volunteer working with various cancer awareness and support groups, such as the Foundation for Cancer Care West Africa to advance their efforts.
She is currently pursuing an MBA in Business Analysis at Georgia State University in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S. A fun fact about Izuhunwa is that she is also a Certified Financial Education Instructor who uses her platforms to provide life-changing personal finance education and coaching to individuals interested in adopting the best practices for managing their money. Hence her tag “The Money Doctor.”
