Reetu Gupta presents…
The Fierce and Fabulous Files!

The Fierce and Fabulous Files are honoured to spotlight Nigerian born Patricia Bebia Mawa. A force in the world of multi-media and starting her career from scratch after moving to Canada, Patricia has directed and produced over 15 television programs, published multiple editions of Excellence, Envision (formally called Diversity Magazine which features success stories from diverse Canadian communities) and Destiny Magazines. In 2008, Silvertrust Media, introduced the Discover magazine series, which has since released over 20 titles and editions for various countries. Patricia also hosts Planet Africa on OMNI TV. A proud and momentous achievement, in 2016, she and her husband launched Afroglobal Television - a 24-hour television channel carried on Rogers Cable, Bell Fibe, Eastlink, and Telus across Canada.

Her accolades include being a recipient of the Toronto Police Community Service Award, the International Women Achievers Award, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal, and the Martin Luther King Dream Keeper Award which is presented annually to someone that demonstrates their impact on their community while promoting racial equality, social responsibility, political empowerment, diversity, nonviolence, and racial harmony.

In recent works, Patricia has written and directed a new drama series – Omobella – that evolves around an Italian and Nigerian couple who own a fusion restaurant catering to a diverse, metropolitan audience. Filled with comedy, suspense, intrigue, plot twists and turns, Omobella is said to be engaging, informative and a ground-breaking series. It captures harmony and diversity with food; entertainment that is much needed, not just in Canada, but internationally. Omobella Palace is that unique project that makes it happen.
