The nomination comes weeks after she lauched her foundation dubbed, being unapologetically African, and this means telling true stories, so a lot of thought-provoking stories are on the way.

Asked what the nomination for the Humanitarian Award means to her, Adelle explained: “I think it’s humbling and an unexpected validation not only for me but the entire team behind the Adelle Onyango Initiative and our partners who believed in us when no one else did!” She continued, “It’s a celebration for those who have directly or indirectly been impacted by my initiative’s programs. It’s really not about just me.”
