The EbonyLife Group has launched EbonyLife ON Plus, a digital platform that “reimagines how the world experiences African creativity.”
Available via the App Store and Google Play, the platform is founded by Mo Abudu.
“EbonyLife ON Plus puts African stories back in African hands,” says Abudu. “We pride ourselves on being more than a streaming platform. This is a space that celebrates every dimension of African creativity, from the stories we tell to the way we live, learn and connect. That said, we also have an incredible lineup of content that will keep our members entertained every month.”
Topping the content lineup is Dust to Dreams, directed by Idris Elba, a “soulful story of love, legacy and redemption” set in the heart of Lagos. The companion documentary, Dust to Dreams: Behind the Scenes, directed by Isioma Osaje, provides an intimate look at the creative process behind the film.
EbonyLife ON Plus also features a mix of original films, podcasts and signature programmes that “celebrate excellence, creativity and purpose.”
Her Perfect Life and Iyawo Mi, both written and directed by Mo Abudu, explore complex themes of identity, mental health and the realities behind personal success. Baby Farm, a gripping thriller, streams on the platform for audiences outside the continent and exposes the dark realities of human trafficking in Lagos.
Ajosepo, directed by Kayode Kasum, is a fresh Nollywood family drama that premiered in cinemas last year and is now available exclusively on EbonyLife ON Plus.
Black, Brilliant & Bold celebrates extraordinary Black women who rise, lead and inspire, including Angélique Kidjo, Ayra Starr, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, President Sahle-Work Zewde, Mayor Karen Bass and Mellody Hobson.
Moments with Mo returns in podcast form with inspiring conversations featuring Africa’s most dynamic voices. Mo & Ted, hosted by Mo Abudu and her daughter Temidayo Makanjuola, offers honest and insightful intergenerational dialogue. What Women Really Think, anchored by Mo Abudu, delves into the issues women think about but are often too afraid or conditioned to voice, exploring topics such as love, desire, power, career and identity.
The Mo Abudu Masterclass Series launches with Purpose, Passion and Vision, a monthly session guiding members to align goals with meaning and impact.
Members also gain access to ELEV8, an AI-driven tool offering more than 5,000 videos to learn skills, explore culture, and discover new opportunities. Nigerian members enjoy a heavily discounted HMO plan, while some members benefit from a rewards scheme redeemable at over 700 UK retail outlets. The platform is designed to entertain, educate, empower, and reward, creating a space where African creativity fuels lifestyle, learning and economic opportunities.
Founded in 2013 by Mo Abudu, EbonyLife Media has produced a slate of hit television series and films, including Castle & Castle, The Governor, Sons of the Caliphate, and Chief Daddy, as well as record-breaking Netflix originals such as Blood Sisters and Elesin Oba: The King’s Horseman. The company has a partnership with Idris Elba’s Green Door Pictures to champion African storytelling and talent on a global stage, their first project being Dust To Dreams.
