Mo Abudu Biography

Mosunmola "Mo" Abudu is an entertainment mogul, CEO of EbonyLife Media, and an expert in African & global creative industry.

She has both Nigerian and English heritage and is the CEO of EbonyLife Media. Abudu has made her mark through various endeavors in the corporate world, and Forbes described her as “Africa’s Most Successful Woman” while CNN said she was “Africa’s Queen of Media who conquered the continent.” Abudu oversees the EbonyLife Media, which includes all EbonyLife Media assets, the EbonyLife Creative Academy and EbonyLife Place.

As the founder and CEO of EbonyLife TV, she created a way to connect all of Africa with a shared identity. EbonyLife TV, on the DStv platform, was Africa’s first global black entertainment and lifestyle network. Her primary goal for the channel was to create a more positive narrative around Africa. What followed was a string of aspirational TV series to include "Fifty," "Castle & Castle," "Sons of the Caliphate" and "The Governor" amongst many others.

In her quest to change global perceptions about Africa, Abudu took the plunge into filmmaking with the creation of EbonyLife Films in 2014. Producing several blockbusters to include: Fifty, The Wedding Party, Chief Daddy, The Royal Hibiscus Hotel in 2018 and Your Excellency in 2019. She executive produced Òlòtūré, a feature film that exposes the shady business of human trafficking in Nigeria. This film premiered on Netflix as a Netflix Original in October 2020.

In 2018, Sony Pictures Television (SPT) announced a three-year deal with EbonyLife TV that would include co-production of The Dahomey Warriors. In 2019, AMC Networks (USA) announced its partnership with EbonyLife to produce Nigeria 2099, an afrofuturistic crime-drama created by EbonyLife. In June 2020, Netflix signed a multi-title deal with EbonyLife to create two original series and multiple branded films and a series. In February 2021, EbonyLife Media signed a First Look deal with Sony Pictures, and a slate of co-production film and television projects with Will and Jada Smith’s Westbrook Studios. EbonyLife Studios and Will Packer Productions are teaming to develop an untitled project, based on Evan Ratliff’s Bloomberg article, ‘’The Fall of the Billionaire Gucci Master”. Most recently, BBC Studios signed a development deal with EbonyLife Media to produce a six-part action-adventure heist thriller, titled Reclaim. EbonyLife also signed a deal to co-produce with Starz and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and Yetide Badaki, along with Lionsgate TV to develop a drama project about Queen Nzinga, 17th century African warrior queen.

As an extension of EbonyLife as an entertainment brand, Abudu developed EbonyLife Place in 2019, Nigeria’s first luxury entertainment resort, in the heart of Lagos, comprising an array of restaurants, an events hall, meeting rooms, a boutique hotel and luxury cinemas, all set in a designer and artful haven.

In 2021, as a way of accelerating filmmaking skills, the EbonyLife Group partnered with the Lagos State Government; the 5th largest economy in Africa; to launch the EbonyLife Creative Academy (ELCA). The Academy offers free practical short courses covering all aspects of filmmaking and media content production and is designed to help working film professionals improve their skills and make them globally competitive, as well as equip beginners with the skills they need to launch their careers on a sound footing.

Abudu is highly sought after for her knowledge of the African and global creative industry. She has spoken at the Wharton School of Business, Cambridge University Judge School of Business, NYU, Oxford University and Harvard University. Throughout the years, Abudu has been a recipient of numerous awards and international recognitions.
