Rachael Okonkwo, the Nollywood actress known as Nkoli Nwa Nsukka, is working with Knorr Nigeria as a cultural ambassador. The partnership has been active for months and centers on celebrating South East heritage and cuisine.
She teamed up with Knorr for the August Meeting, where she paid tribute to Igbo women by leading cooking experiences and market activations alongside culinary experts Chiamaka Nwakalor-Egemba, Onyinye Emechebe, and nutritionist Nancy Umeh. The focus was on spotlighting and preserving traditional recipes.
She also joined Knorr at the Ofala Festival in Onitsha, themed Njiko na Ntachi (Unity and Perseverance). There she led communal cooking sessions and food-tasting experiences in honor of the Obi of Onitsha, Nnaemeka Alfred Achebe, showcasing traditional dishes made with Knorr products.
Knorr chose Rachael because she’s regarded as a cultural icon with strong ties to the South East and a track record as an advocate for culture and community. She has other brand endorsements including Malta Guinness, Aquadon Water, Pharmatex Luter, and previously served as Enugu State Ambassador on Youth Development.
