As we gear up for our Digital Speaks edition, we continue to profile leading women in Africa’s tech space. Our woman of the month, March, 2019 is one of few women who can boast of being top of mind when it comes to tech reviews and broadcasting in a male dominated entertainment industry. It is no other than the protean BellaRose Okojie.
BellaRose Okojie is an erudite Mass Communication graduate who loves everything about the arts.
Okojie first tried her hands on Link Radio (now MAX FM) reading entertainment news as a fresher in the University. After her B.Sc at the Redeemer’s University, she worked as an associate producer in Africa Independent Television (AIT) after which she worked with Raypower FM, co-anchoring famous programmes like Factfile on the Ultimate Morning Show – a 5-hour morning programme broadcast across West Africa. A year later, she walked away from her radio stint and returned to her first love – screen presentation.
Presenting a Tech show, Okojie infused a bit of hilarity in a seemingly grave industry. Passionate about new media and technology, she has moderated on panels for tech events like MTN Digital Conference, Social Media Week, Tech Plus, New Media conference, and online streams for Samsung mobile, Lenovo, et cetera.
Her artistic dexterity, having been a writer and proofreader for TW Magazine contributes to her creative and absolutely animated persona. While she is still an on-air personality, she sits on the board of Greenstreet Media Networks, the parent company of TechCityNG.com where she is Editor and Lead, Web & Broadcast Content.
