034 | Strong Enough Long Enough ft. Jesse Iwuji

The Encourage Project with Amy A. Fairchild

So excited to bring you this interview with NASCAR driver Jesse Iwuji! Jesse is wise and warm and so inspiring. I know you will take away at least one aha! Enjoy!

Jesse Iwuji is a talented NASCAR driver who went from D1A college football player to Lieutenant Commander in the United States Navy. He is now the only current driver in all of NASCAR at the national levels who has ever served his country and still does. It has been key for Iwuji, who is currently serving in the Navy Reserves, to honor his country while pursuing and attaining excellence. It should come as no surprise that he has championed companies and charities that give back to our men and women in uniform. Jesse is a big supporter of NASCAR diversity, and today he is one of two African Americans competing at NASCAR’s national levels of racing. He was honored by NASCAR for two years in a row – the Diverse Driver of the Year Award. He is a champion both on and off the track.
