Mo Abudu, founder and CEO, is thrilled about the channel reaching its fifth year. “We are incredibly grateful to have made it this far. The journey has not been easy and a lot of hard work has gone into the past few years. We would not be here without the people who have been in our corner from day one – sponsors, advertisers, partners, vendors, employees, talent, contractors and our viewers, who have been extremely loyal,” she said.
Taking these bold steps after five years is further proof of EbonyLife’s commitment to change the African narrative through homegrown, quality programming. Viewers should anticipate an exciting July, with changes that will cement the EbonyLife media group as the go-to source of dynamic, original, quality content that showcases the best of Africa to the world.
