As part of activities marking her 50th birthday, a respected media professional, Mrs Nkoyo Umoh has inaugurated a volunteer project team to coordinate two landmark initiatives, a documentary chronicling her life journey and a media masterclass designed to empower journalists and communication professionals.
The projects, titled “50 Years of Grace & Impact Documentary” and “Media Masterclass,” are scheduled to culminate on Monday, September 7, 2026, coinciding with her 50th birthday.
In a welcome message to members of the project team, the celebrant described the initiatives as more than birthday activities, saying they were conceived to celebrate relationships, document a lifetime of experiences, and give back to the media and communication community.
According to her, the documentary will capture the story of her five-decade journey through the people, experiences, lessons, challenges, opportunities and impact that have shaped her life and career.
“These are more than birthday activities. They are intended to be a celebration of relationships, a documentation of a journey, and a give-back to the media and communication community,” she said.
The media professional also revealed that the Media Masterclass would serve as a platform for learning, networking, mentorship and knowledge sharing, particularly for media practitioners and emerging professionals seeking to broaden their career opportunities beyond traditional journalism.
The masterclass, themed “Beyond the Newsroom: Turning Journalism Skills into Marketable Assets,” will hold virtually on September 7, 2026, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
She expressed excitement that both projects are being driven by volunteers, commending the members of the project team for offering their time, creativity, talent and professional expertise to ensure the success of the initiatives.
Describing the collaborative effort as a testament to the power of relationships and shared purpose, she thanked the volunteers for their commitment and urged them to work together to deliver memorable projects that would leave a lasting impact on the media profession.
The documentary and masterclass are expected to bring together media professionals, mentees, colleagues and industry stakeholders in what organisers describe as a celebration of legacy, learning and purposeful impact.
