Mo Abudu made the announcement on her official Instagram account. She was recognized for her outstanding contribution to the media and entertainment sectors.

She wrote: “It’s an honour and privilege to be included and ranked on The Forbes World’s 100 Most Powerful Women List 2022.

“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, 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 challenged 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.”
