Media mogul and EbonyLife CEO, Mo Abudu, has made it clear that she is not one to accept younger people casually calling her by her first name.
Speaking during a conversation with Toke Makinwa on Toke Moments, the movie executive described herself as “very traditional,” explaining that her upbringing by her grandmother in India shaped her views about respect and how younger people should address their elders.
When Toke asked if she was big on people calling her “Aunty,” Mo did not mince words.
“I am very traditional. I was brought up in Ondo by my grandmother. You can’t be calling me by my first name anyhow. I won’t take it!” she said.
Mo also addressed claims by some people who have described her as a “shark” in business, arguing that she would likely be labelled differently if she were a man.
