WiM Founder and CEO, Ade Onilude, featured in Twitter’s powerful anthem to women #HereWeAre which made it’s TV debut during the 2018 Oscars.
The 60-second spot includes an original poem from poet Denice Frohman and features a multi-generational group of women from 20 to 82, including Hollywood filmmakers Issa Rae, Ava DuVerney, Julie Dash and Jennifer Brea.
