Biola Alabi has been selected to join the 2014 Yale World Fellow
program. The former Managing Director of M-Net Africa will participate
in the program alongside 15 other trailblazers from all over the world.
The Yale Daily News
reports that “The Fellows, who hail from all around the world, are
professionals who were selected from a pool of nearly 4000 applicants
for the opportunity to come to Yale for one semester. During their time
on campus, the Fellows will participate in leadership and media
training, while engaging with various members of the University
community, from undergraduates to graduate students to faculty.” Continue.
Biola who is also a 2012 World Economic
Forum Young Global Leader says “Spending five years at the forefront of
the flourishing African film and television industry with a business as
dynamic and visionary as M-Net has been an incredible experience. Now,
as I look forward to immersing myself in the Yale World Fellows
programme, I must express my sincere appreciation to M-Net for the
opportunities I have had to learn and to lead.”
Biola is currently the Director for Special Projects at M-Net, however, after her Yale fellowship will pursue new career opportunities.
