Mo Abudu who thanked the organizers of Women Werk, encouraged the next generation of women to stand up and support the womenfolk towards the realization of their goals and dreams.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis, indeed, is the Century of the African Woman. It’s so uplifting to see the number of African women who are doing really amazing things and who are being celebrated all over the world today. When I look at Moments with Mo for instance and I consider the number of women that we have celebrated on that platform for various groundbreaking achievements, it makes me feel very proud as a woman. Thank you so much for honouring me with the award of Entrepreneur of the Year. I love being an entrepreneur. It’s what I am. I love taking risks. So, thank you for celebrating what I love to do. I feel so proud to be an African woman and to be recognized in this award,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
