EbonyLife TV is launching its brand-new feature show called “Hello Africa.”
“Hello Africa” is the latest addition to EbonyLife TV’s selection of Black entertainment and lifestyle programming. Produced and hosted by Eunice Omole, an African in the diaspora and alumna of the ivy-league Columbia University, School of Journalism, she recently joined EbonyLife TV as chief strategy officer, following the footsteps of Mo Abudu, who hosts “Moments with Mo.”
Omole is also the chairwoman and CEO of EbonyLife TV. During the first season of “Hello Africa,” Omole is slated to interview guests, such as Akon, Marcus Samuelsson, Ayaan and Idyl Mohallim, Femi Kuti, Florence “DJ Cuppy” Otedola, Ivan Kagame, Kevin Olusola, Peres Owino, and more.
Omole says, “Hello Africa seeks to tell the quintessential African story through industrious, enterprising and brilliant minds that are proud of their heritage and determined to change the misconceptions of Africa and Africans around the world.”
With guests, ranging from accomplished actors to musical standouts, “Hello Africa” will offer human interest stories and discussion topics in areas, such as politics, fashion, business, news, and more. Each 30-minute episode of “Hello Africa” will highlight inspirational, successful Africans in African communities around the world.
Omole adds, “Tune into what’s going on with Africans in the diaspora as we celebrate, connect, and entertain with the latest in politics, fashion, business, news, celebrities, and more.”
