Who We Are
Welcome to Brace up and Rise Foundation
Brace up and Rise Foundation was founded in 2024 by Ijeoma Ugochukwu, popularly known as IJ Motivates, a passionate advocate for single parents and personal development. As a single mother of three living in Canada, IJ understands firsthand the struggles that come with raising children alone—balancing financial responsibilities, emotional challenges, and the pursuit of a better future.
Having faced and overcome these obstacles herself, she felt a deep calling to create a support system for other single parents, ensuring that they don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Her experiences ignited a mission to empower single parents with the tools, resources, and encouragement they need to thrive, not just survive.
