October 03, (THEWILL) – Movie producer and boss of EbonyLife Media, Mosunmola Abudu, has once again shown that she is bold, fearless and not one to give up easily in any situation she finds herself, as evident in the manner she reacted to ‘haters’ who launched a campaign of calumny against her about two weeks ago.
Mo, who had to shield herself from social media attacks by going private on her social media handles, has since reopened them. At the same time, she is channeling her energy into posting cryptic messages directed at her ‘haters,’ celebrating her milestones while also getting the much needed support from her close friends.
Besides celebrating a unique article on her in the New York Times about her mission to sell Africa to the world through storytelling, her EbonyLife Media Group is partnering with Sony Pictures Television to set up a writers’ initiative targeted at Africans, called ‘Alo’. It is a platform for African writers to submit their stories, documents and scripts for assessment by EbonyLife and SPT executives.
Shortlisted writers will be opportune to create a pilot script in agreement with the organisers and upon successful completion, pitch their projects to recognised international broadcasters.
Only last month, Abudu’s EbonyLife TV partnered with Universal Pictures and Will Parker Production to get the adaptation rights for a movie on incarcerated fraudster, Ramon Abass, otherwise known as Hushpuppi.
Ivory Ukonu is a versatile journalist with many years of experience, with entertainment and society reporting as her area of core competence.
