Nigerian media mogul, Mosunmola Abudu, better known as Mo Abudu has been named the 99th most powerful woman in the world by Forbes.
Abudu,58, who is the founder of EbonyLife Group was named among other 100 very influential and powerful women in the world by the financial magazine.
According to Forbes, she was recognised for her outstanding contribution to the media and entertainment sectors. Her partnership deals with Sony Pictures Television, AMC Networks, and Netflix were some of the reasons she made the list.
The deal with Netflix marked the first time an African media company signed a multi-title film and TV agreement with the streaming giant.
Mo Abudu celebrates another success
Mo Abudu took to her Instagram page to celebrate her success. It is worth noting that in 2021, she also made the Forbes list as no 98.
On her Instagram page, she noted that it is an honour to have made the list in 2022. She wrote:
“It’s an honour and privilege to be included and ranked on The Forbes World’s 100 Most Powerful Women List 2022. 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
To quote Forbes: “The list was determined by four main metrics: media, impact, money and spheres of influence. For political leaders, we weighed gross domestic products and populations; for corporate leaders, revenues and employee counts; and media mentions and reach of all. The result is a collection of women who are fighting the status quo”
As I said earlier, it’s an honour to be on this list, but it does not mean I or EbonyLife are challenge free, I am no stranger to challenges, but a major obsession for me is finding ways to turn my challenges into amazing opportunities 🙏🏾
EbonyLife we move with love ❤️
