Jenny Anusiem, a young and energetic woman driven by the passion to make an impact and support the girl-child with every factor available at her disposal was first groomed as a CEO when she co birthed “Jenny Uzo Foundation”.
At 30 she is focused, determined and a goal-getter with a burning passion to give the women folks a deserved place in our society.
Dear to her heart is the Jenny Uzo Foundation which she co-founded in 2016 and incorporated in 2018. Jenny Uzo Foundation is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) founded to support the girl-child by educating and empowering her academically, socially and through mentorship, thereby fostering gender equality in the society.
The dynamic entrepreneur and social change activist hails from Avutu in Obowo LGA of Imo State.
Her journey into the world of football club proprietorship was born due to the absence of female football activities in her hometown a couple of years back which irked her and pushed her to donate a trophy for the female teams in Obowo LGA.
The desire to empower the girl-child especially talented ones in Imo state through football for them to become professional players, future coaches, administrators and mentors, hence the birth of Imo Angels FC in November 2020.
Jenny recruited like-minds and experienced football administrators who in a very little time set up, nurtured and mentored one of the most talked-about female football side in the nation.
The youngest football CEO, Jenny has since been more than determine and motivated by the antecedents of the female football administrative forerunners such as Aisha Folade, late Henrietta Okaigwe, late Tessy Nwoke, Dilichukwu Onyedinma, among many others to contribute her own little quota towards the development of female football in Nigeria.
