Chioma Ude, Nigeria | Founder and Executive Director, AFRIFF
Ten years after founding the Africa Intl. Film Festival, Ude has transformed Afriff into one of the continent’s leading cinematic showcases, using it as a platform to train and support hundreds of female filmmakers — one of her core missions. Her next project, Envivo, is a multi-platform tech tool that includes a VOD platform and an educational app developed with USC’s film school. Ude is determined to set an example for young Nigerian and African women, proving “they can achieve anything if they put their mind to it,” she says, by “making them understand the audacity of belief."
