Chijioke Mgbeke, Editor of Opinion
Chijioke Mgbeke (’27) is always playing Cupid—chasing a spark of connection wherever it might appear. Known among friends as a natural matchmaker, she’s less about swiping right and more about weaving people together in real life. As junior class president and an admissions fellow, she’s constantly setting the stage for Webb’s biggest love story: a community that feels fun, open, and united. Every role Chijioke takes on is another arrow in her Cupid’s quiver. In Black Affinity, she finds connection and brainstorms creative ways to bring people together. On the basketball court, she thrives not only as a teammate but also seeks to have fun with everyone in an encouraging environment. This year, Chijioke is sharpening her arrow once again. As the editor of opinion of the Webb Canyon Chronicle, she plans to amplify student voices, presenting Webb through stories and new perspectives, making connections even when it might not seem apparent. And if her love for shows like “Gossip Girl” says anything, it’s that she relishes a little drama simply for the way it reveals what ties people together. For Chijioke, every event and every story is a match waiting to be made. Cupid never rests, and neither does she.
