C. Hub magazine releases its 2016 100 most influential creatives . The shocking compilation of world's creative influencers appears in their Spring issue , April -June 2016.
Defending
the criteria for the list, Faustina Anyanwu the magazine's Chief Editor
writes in her editors letter released to the media as follows.
"We
probably will be kicking several butts with this year’s 100 most
influential for all the good and well, bad reasons for some. They are
not the usual names you’ve always seen.
Recognising
the importance of creativity, coupled with the power of social media,
you can no longer put people in just one box and define them. More and
more people are now thinking and living outside the long familiar
definition, and they’re out influencing their circle with their own
unchecked imaginations.
These
are the people challenging what you’ve known for ages, challenging the
stereotypes, challenging the norms and creating their own reality .
Their reality which resonates with the needs of people around them.
They’re the new leaders of our time, the influencers.
Years back if you heard ‘influential’ , you probably would start listing all the media famous names and ‘world leaders’, – position or status leaders. One good thing about this era is, such definitions of influence are being challenged.

2. AKON – MAKING POSITIVE IMPACT.
A US – Senegalese Rapper is not only continuously uplifting people with his music but also walking walk by opening doors of opportunity in America and Africa. Determined to reach out for his roots, determined to transform his people positively Akon wants to show us that leadership comes from within: “Personally, I don’t think that charities in Africa really work,” “I think it just holds the people down longer than it should.” On lighting Africa, he says: “ If you want to make an impact, start from the rural areas because that is the heartbeat of Africa. Leading by example, he has launched an initiative aim at developing an innovative solar-powered solution that will provide electricity in rural areas.

3. SERENA WILLIAMS
Tell me, there are billions of reasons why people love Serena Williams but none is as powerful and enduring to my heart and mind than her drive to change the face of tennis forever. She has the credibility, motivated,energized and committed. She inspired my generation, and next generation with her talent. Kudos to her! As the world No.1 who cherishes her roots and proud of her heritage, she is not only motivating Africans but building schools such as Serena Williams Secondary school in Matooni, Kenya. On the latest row, Serena frowns at Novak Djokovic urging him to explain why male player deserved more money than their female counterparts. Serena continues to have positive influence on women and men throughout the whole world and she is admired for her talent and courage.

4. DUPSY ABIOLA
A city girl with her mega bucks left her juicy career as lawyer to start her own business. In 2010 Dupsy founded ‘Intern Avenue’ “to give young people more opportunities to understand what might be a good fit for them and to empower employers not to be a slave to the system.” In her word: “I won’t pretend that it wasn’t a big decision” The ability and willing to change a life is what counts in leadership. Taking responsibility for the quality of leadership people experience regardless of your status, age, sex and race is what inspires people to follow a leader.
