Genevieve Nnaji Makes Arise Magazine's World's 100 Dynamic Women List
The magazine listed in its current edition, 100 dynamic women chosen from all over the world who have influenced the society in their chosen profession. With the increased calls for gender equality, women are gradually becoming a force to reckon with in every facet of life.
