Guess who this handsome boy is? 😍😍.. The one who has brought me more joy than I thought was possible. Jayce is now nearly three months old and the last few months I’ve been home nurturing him has been the best months of my life. If I tried to, I wouldn’t be able to explain what this little, beautiful human means to me. Half the time when I look at him, I have tears in my eyes. The joy is indescribable. How did I get so lucky? 💃💃#Thehandsomestboyintheworld #myson #mylife #myheir #myansweredprayer #myeverything . Swipe to see some photos of him I took over the past few weeks and a few from the day he was born and when he was a few days old. Y’all know I like to do collage..😅 .

MO ABUDU AWARDED HONORARY DOCTORATE DEGREE BY THE UNIVERSITY OF WESTMINSTER

The University of Westminster has awarded Mo Abudu, founder and chief executive of EbonyLife Media, an honorary degree of Doctor of Arts, in recognition of her outstanding services to broadcasting and enterprise in Nigeria.

The presentation was made during the university’s annual graduation ceremony at the prestigious Royal Festival Hall in London.

The broadcaster and filmmaker attended Westminster in 1993 when she completed a master’s degree in Manpower Studies. After successful careers as a corporate executive and human resources entrepreneur, Mo entered the world of media as the host and producer of Moments with Mo, the first pan-African talk show. In 2012, she went on to found EbonyLife TV, which has grown into a media group, encompassing movie production and global video-on-demand (VoD).

Despite a challenging business environment, 2018 has been a landmark year for Mo Abudu, beginning in March with the announcement by Sony Pictures Television that they had struck a three-project production deal with EbonyLife. The media group celebrated its 5th anniversary in July with the launch of EbonyLife ON, its global VoD service.

In October, Mo was included in The Powerlist, the top 100 most influential people of African and Caribbean heritage in the UK, alongside Meghan Markle, Anthony Joshua and Lewis Hamilton. December marks the release of Chief Daddy, the fifth feature produced by EbonyLife Films.

In her acceptance speech at the ceremony, an impassioned Mo spoke directly to the graduates from the School of Arts and School of Media and Communication:

The most important thing in life is to find your God-given purpose and passion – I mention God because I am a strong Christian and I truly believe he directs my every step. But going back to purpose – please find that thing you are passionate about, that you feel you were born to do. Then, spend every day planning and carrying out that purpose. It’s not always easy to find – but if you persevere, it will never fail you.When things get tough – and they will – just keep forging ahead – stay focused – be tenacious – and eventually your purpose will multiply and become unstoppable!

According to the Vice-Chancellor, Dr Peter Bonfield:

Westminster University awards honorary degrees to those who have made outstanding contributions in their personal and professional lives.
