Why we love Onome
Spotlight is about shining a light on women who lead us, teach us, and motivate us to action. ECHOage loves Onome for her commitment to a cause that is so vital to all our lives, ending world hunger. Her ideas, passion and total commitment to solutions for ending the suffering of children and families has made us wake up and listen, follow and take action. We look to her for the information we need on how to help, and how to put our concern into action. We look to her to inspire us to live with integrity and truth. We're spotlighting Onome and AAH today, but we'll continue to spread her message and her vision for years to come.
