Nollywood star Chioma Chukwuka is the cover personality for the 19th edition of UncutXtra Magazine, themed “The Influential Edition,” which highlights African changemakers across film, fashion, business, and culture.

Chukwuka, fresh off her win as Best Lead Actress at the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA), leads the issue with an in-depth feature exploring her legacy, personal growth, and influence as both an actress and advocate.

“We didn’t just go after big names; we focused on individuals making a real impact in their industries and communities,” said publisher and CEO Emmanuel Alade. “Chioma has not only captivated audiences with her talent but has broken boundaries and inspired generations through her unwavering dedication to her craft.”

Founded in the United Kingdom, UncutXtra has grown into a platform documenting African excellence. Its latest edition continues that tradition with profiles on rising actor Eronini Osinachi, digital content creator Emilia Akinriboya, and other emerging talents redefining the continent’s cultural narrative.

Alade praised Chukwuka’s professionalism during the cover shoot, calling the production process “a true pleasure.”

The edition’s editorial team includes Omobolanle Valentina Adigun as lead editor, with contributions from Oluwagbeminiyi Oduyemi, Divine Apemaa Yiganabari, Oluwabukola Odunwole, and Ifeoluwa Ajayi. Visual direction was led by stylist Laween Luxury and photographer Kendhall I. McGowan, with makeup and hair by Belle Bedazzled. The cover interview was conducted by Rose Uloma Kanu.

UncutXtra Magazine’s 19th edition is now available digitally and in select retail outlets across Africa and the United Kingdom.
