Every year, a select group of pan-Africa’s most influential and innovative leaders and trailblazers are honored at The Fascinating Africans Committed to Excellence (FACE) List Awards
in New York City. Established in 2011, The FACE list Awards celebrates African pioneers in
business, fashion, entertainment, health, and other sectors who have made notable impacts on
African affairs. We search far and wide to find and celebrate those whom we believe represent
and exemplify the diversity of talents and success stories that the pan-African community
generates every year. Through the FACE list, we seek to not only honor their past accomplishments, but also to encourage their ongoing endeavors and future successes.

Entertainment Honor
Getting back to the essence of Afrobeat is
the central aim of Femi Kuti’s No Place
for My Dream, the seventh album in the
world-renowned Nigerian singer’s 26year career. But how does one define
the essence of such a complex music—
one that, since its creation in the late
‘60s by Femi’s father, Fela Kuti, has
blended funk, jazz and African folk.
Femi Kuti was born Olufela Olufemi
Anikulapo Kuti on June 12, 1962 in
London. He grew up in Lagos, Nigeria, where, at 15, he started playing saxophone in his father’s band,
Egypt 80. In 1986 he formed his
own band, the Positive Force.
His first record was released
in 1995 by Tabu/Motown, followed four years later by Shoki
Shoki (MCA), which garnered
widespread critical acclaim.
In 2001 he collaborated with
Common and Mos Def on Fight
to Win, an effort to cross over
to a mainstream audience,
and started touring the United States with Jane’s
Addiction.
In 2004 he opened The Shrine, his club,
where he recorded the live album Africa Shrine. After a 4-year absence due to
personal setbacks, he re-emerged in 2008
with Day by Day and Africa for Africa in
2010, for which he received two Grammy nominations. In 2012 he was both
inducted into the Headies Hall of Fame
(the most prestigious music awards in
Nigeria), was the opening act on the Red
Hot Chili Peppers’ European arena tour
and became an Ambassador for Amnesty
International. He continues to expand the
diversity of his artistry on his new album
(2013) No Place for My Dream. Femi Kuti
is now a judge on Nigeria’s huge TV show
Nigerian Idol.

Ethiopia that have not only empowered
her community and country, but has presented a dynamic face of African creativity to the global market. She continues to
shift the discourse on African development from one of poverty alleviation to
one about prosperity creation driven by
local Africans maximizing their talents
and resources.
Tilahun Alemu was the first female African entrepreneur to address the Clinton
Global Initiative and was named Outstanding African Business Woman by African Business Awards in 2011. She was

THE 2014 HONOREES
Alek Wek
Masai Ujiri
Global Ambassador Honor Elle magazine took a risk by featuring dark-skinned, Sudanese model, Alek Wek, on the cover of its November 1997
issue. However, the result was a wave of reader responses and letters-to-the-editor from both women and men who
were ecstatic to see different standards of beauty represented in the fashion industry. Oprah later commented to
Alek on her show, “If you’d been on the cover of a magazine when I was growing up, I would have had a different
concept of who I was.”
Alek was born in Southern Sudan and raised in the Dinka tribe. At fourteen, she was forced to flee to London to
escape civil war. Soon thereafter, Alek was discovered at a London street fair. She quickly rose to the top of the
modeling industry and was named “Model of the Decade” by i-D magazine, one of People magazine’s “50 Most
Beautiful People” and one of the “50 Most Influential Faces in Fashion”. New York Magazine also named her
one of the “50 Most Beautiful New Yorkers”.
Alek’s influence extends far beyond the fashion world; she spoke at the International Black Caucus Foreign
Affairs as a member of a panel that included Hilary Clinton, Congressman Daniel Payne, and Danny Glover,
among other influential figures. Alek has also served on the advisory board for the U.S. Committee for Refugees. She speaks in New York area schools to raise awareness around famine in Southern Sudan and educate
children on the importance of nourishment. She has also launched the Bracelet of Life campaign in conjunction with Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders. Alek also works closely with AIDS awareness
organizations, children’s charities, and non-profits dedicated to breast cancer research. Most recently, she
collaborated with Bono’s (RED) organization and Diptyque candles to help fight AIDS in Africa.
She has been featured in ad campaigns for Clinique Happy, Ralph Lauren, Jean Paul Gaultier, Banana
Republic, Joop, Nars, Issey Miyake, Moschino, the Gap, Ann Taylor, Michael Kors and MAC Cosmetics.
Alek also appeared in Coach’s “Most Influential People” campaign and teamed with De Beers to promote
the company’s diamond brand, “Forevermark”. Alek has also appeared on the covers of prominent international fashion magazines that include i-D, Elle, Essence, L’Officiel, London Style, Deutsch, New York
Magazine’s Fashions of the Times, and the Sunday Times Style Magazine.
She has walked the runway for top fashion houses such as Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, Christian Dior,
Gucci, Fendi, Jean Paul Gautier, Vivienne Westwood, Chanel, John Galliano, Alexander McQueen,
Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan, Zac Posen, Hermès and Helmut Lang. Alek dedicates her free time to
another one of her passions: design. She has designed multiple seasons of handbags for her line, Alek
Wek 1933. Alek also enjoys acting and made her debut in the film Four Feathers alongside Kate
Hudson and Heath Ledger.
Alek has written and published a memoir, ALEK: From Sudanese Refugee to International Supermodel. She remains actively involved with Southern Sudan and is an ambassador for The Office of
the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Alek recently travelled back to her hometown
to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of her nation’s freedom.
