An Evening with Oprah
Oprah Winfrey was a deep font of wisdom, inspiration & pure joy at the unforgettable dinner she headlined for GEANCO in Santa Barbara on May 21. We are impossibly grateful to her, actor & scholarship co-founder David Oyelowo, our heroically generous donors, and the fantastic Charitybuzz team who made the evening a seminal success for our leadership scholarship program!
2025 Creative Arts Summit
David Oyelowo used the power of creative arts to uplift young women in Nigeria. The Selma and Lawmen: Bass Reeves actor spent the weekend in Enugu, Nigeria, hosted a Creative Arts Summit (from Jan 29 to Feb, 2) at the Brightland Academy through his David Oyelowo Leadership Scholarship for Girls, in partnership with GEANCO Foundation. Joined by his wife, actor and producer Jessica Oyelowo, he led discussions on acting, music, photography, AI, digital art and performance, showing young women how creative expression can shape their futures.
