Princess Modupe Ozolua has just returned from Atlanta Georgia in the United States, where she had gone to seek funds to help survivors of Boko Haram. It pains her every time she hears about the suicide bombings, killings and kidnappings by the Boko Haram militant group in her ancestral homeland.

She feels troubled when the plight of survivors dealing with the aftermath of the attacks goes unheard. The princess, a member of Benin Empire, doesn’t want those victims to be forgotten.

She recently took a step toward raising awareness and money to assist displaced victims at her “Inaugural Rise Above Terror,” which took place at the Besharat Gallery in Atlanta.

She hopes the money can help rebuild schools, homes, provide medical relief and food to help some of the millions who have been unable to live in areas with destroyed schools and burnt villages.

Ozolua, a cosmestic surgery philanthropist, has brought aid to victims in Africa since she started her non-profit foundation and empowered 54 victims in 2003. But this is the first time she would be holding the fund- raising in the United States, calling it a coming out party.
