Mo Abudu is the 12th most powerful Black woman in the world. Worldwide, she ranks 98.
The Nigerian woman is a media mogul and founder of Africa’s first Global Black Multi-Broadcast Entertainment Network called ‘Ebony Life Television.’ The channel airs in over 49 countries across Africa, the UK and the Caribbean.
She is also the founder of Ebony Life Films. Her debut film ‘Fifty’ was screened at the London Film Festival and was one of Nigeria’s biggest blockbusters. Also, she has put out over 5,000 hours of original television shows and highly rated Nigerian films like “The Wedding Party” which earned the production house around $11.5 million (3.5 billion Naira) in 2016 and “Fifty”.
In 2020, she partnered with Netflix to create content straight out of Nigeria to the world. As part of the deal, her production company and Netflix will create two Netflix original series and several other Netflix-branded films.
According to Forbes, Ebony Life Film’s deal with Netflix marked the first time an African company signed a multi-titled film and TV agreement with the streaming giant. Aside from Netflix, Mo Abudu has also struck major partnership deals with Sony Pictures Television and AMC networks.
