Recognition from the Global International Alliance.

Awarded in London in recognition of Chioma’s contribution to education, families and community impact.

“We had a really good time with Chioma Fanawopo at our yearly Parenting Seminar at Dew of Blessing church! This year she took a 1 hour session with our children and teens church, speaking about their experiences of social media, the dangers, and how it impacts their development. My daughters still talk about it three weeks later! Parents also had an excellent and inspiring talk on ‘Parenting in the Digital Age.’ I’d recommend Chioma for this and other youth-related topics. Thank you again, Chioma!”
