[size=14pt]6 Emerging Female Entrepreneurs To Watch In Africa[/size]

Imoteda Aladekomo, Heels In The Kitchen

No one expected West African food to emerge as the world’s healthiest when Lancet Global Health’s reviewed of dietary habits from around the globe earlier this summer. Unfortunately, you won’t find much African food on the world stage as other cuisines such as Italian, Chinese and Indian are the go-to choices for international palettes. Cordon Bleu trained chef Imoteda Aladekomo has plans to change that by globalizing African food, starting with her native Nigerian dishes. She wants to use television as a platform to show the richness and diversity in the dishes and make it more accessible to non-Africans. With a show already filmed and plans underway to expand to merchandising, Chef Tomi may become the next biggest cooking star.

Kasope Ladipo-Ajai, Omo Alata Foods

Omo Alata, the Yoruba name for spice seller is a budding food processing company that wants to simplify the way Nigerians cook their food. As a busy wife and computer science graduate Kasope Ladipo-Ajai no longer had the 2-3 hours it took to make a standard stew or soup after facing hours of traffic plus a full workday. Spending time abroad she saw how quick service and prepackaged meals made life easier for busy families, especially working moms. While busy urbanites are having trouble accessing and cooking fresh meals, millions of pounds of produce go to waste during long transit times to urban centers. Kasope and her husband Olatayo founded Omo Alata Foods to provide ready to cook pepper and stew products and tap into the rapidly growing middle class consumer and desire for high quality packaged foods.

This Is What Women In STEM Look Like Around the World

But female scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians worldwide are breaking barriers and making incredible contributions to their fields despite the odds. Here are just a few women doing so all over the world:

Every year, the Elsevier Foundation recognizes notable women from STEM fields in developing countries. The 2015 awards were given to five women — three of whom were Nigerian physicists: Mojisola Usikalu, Rabia Salihu Sa'id and Mojisola Oluwyemisi Adeniyi.

[size=18pt]Africa’s leading women in tech 2015[/size]

Funke Opeke
Funke was born and raised in Nigeria where she obtained a degree in Electronics & electrical Engineering from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife in 1981 before she proceeded to New York for a Master’s degree at Columbia University.

According to Girls in ICT, following graduation from Columbia, Funke pursued a career in ICT in the United States and successfully ended that phase of her career as an Executive Director with the Wholesale division of Verizon Communications in New York when she decided to return to Nigeria in 2005.

Funke joined MTN Nigeria as Chief Technical Officer, and also served as adviser to Transcorp and Chief Operating Officer of NITEL for a brief period before launching Main Street Technologies in 2007. The company went on to raise $240 Million to build the pioneer private submarine cable system in West Africa – Main One Cable. The 7,000km cable runs from Portugal down to Accra, Ghana and Lagos, Nigeria and is delivering wholesale broadband capacity across several countries in West Africa today.

UCLA Student Pushes City of Inglewood to Address Health Risks of Beauty Products for Blacks

UCLA Ph.D. student Teni Adewumi (left) talks to a hair stylist about the potential risk of some hair products. Adewumi is hoping to persuade the City of Inglewood to pilot a program promoting healthy hair salons.

The Nigerian-American student began shining light on the issue last summer when she started working for the L.A. nonprofit, Black Women for Wellness’ Healthy Hair Initiative project as part of a partnership between the Occupational Health Internship Program and the UCLA Labor Occupational Safety and Health program.

Before pursuing graduate studies at UCLA, Adewumi developed an interest in safe working environments. She won an occupational health and safety internship at Fortune 500 company, Medtronic. The internship turned into an 18-month gig.

[size=14pt]Campus Safety chief receives award[/size]

His integrity impressed a U.S. Immigrations officer in 1995 and was granted another visa to return, immigrating in 1996. Leroy Neal, former Biola track and field coach, wished to recruit John.

“It took six years to get him from out of Nigeria,” Neal said. “I had heard about him from a friend at Azusa Pacific who gave me his name and number and I called him and I’d written to him and I decided I wanted to recruit him because he was a world class long jumper.”

Rotimi: Hustler, Actor, Musician, Jay Z Favorite

At 26, Rotimi has soared to popularity in recent years, playing that dealer on the Starz series Power, and as the star of last year’s Sundance-accoladed Imperial Dreams; he’s also got a co-star gig in the upcoming Star Wars movie. And then he pulls double duty as an R&B star, opening for everyone from T.I. to Jennifer Hudson. The parallel work has him knowing a nice percentage of everyone there is to know in Black entertainment. His next steps — including signing with 50 Cent’s label G-Unit — have him inching closer and closer to the big-time mainstream spotlight where so many of his connections dwell comfortably.
