About Rhoda Okono:

I am currently working at Globetrack International as the head of Marketing.

At Slik Kingz Entertainment, I encountered all sorts of people and learned how to deal with several different personalities.

I have engaged with Teenwise media as an online platform manager, as well a writer for The Insyder Magazine. In the same tune for Mister Wok Restaurant. For the restaurant I also had to develop ‘street’ marketing strategies, on top of the online marketing in order to boost sales.

I have worked at a fashion production workshop. I was the quality control manager.

I was a student an United States International University. I have produced several short films, also been the script writer for several more. I was the editor in chief for the school magazine, as well as the cartoonist for the newspaper.

I enjoy working with children, fine arts, innovation, writing, and spoken word. In this creative line, I was the company artist for Generation Challenge Program in Mexico, and their website is decorated with parts of my paintings.

I would like to learn how to produce children's films, as well as write children's books. I have taught myself-through studying children's drawings, how to illustrate children's books.
