Mo Abudu, founder and CEO of Nigeria- and London-based EbonyLife Media thinks its about time Africans started speaking for themselves, in Hollywood and around the world.
“I’m sick and tired of having my story told by some stranger,” she told TheWrap for this week’s Office With a View.
Abudu, who was born in London and has deep family roots in Nigeria, has been called “the most powerful woman in global media” by Forbes and landed on the publication’s World’s 100 Most Powerful Women. Having built EbonyLife Media from the ground up, she told TheWrap she is on a mission to empower Africans to tell stories that go beyond slavery and the legacy of that horrific period in history.
