Sandra Odige, esteemed media entrepreneur, visionary fashion leader, and CEO of La Mode Group UK, has been awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Media and Communications by Myles Leadership University. The prestigious ceremony was held at the historic Chichester Cathedral in West Sussex, United Kingdom on July 19th.

This remarkable honor recognizes Odige’s outstanding contributions to media, fashion, communication, and cultural advocacy over the past decade. As the Publisher and Founder of La Mode Magazine and a trailblazer for women in media, Sandra has reshaped the fashion media landscape with bold storytelling, purpose-driven campaigns, and a global platform that champions inclusion, empowerment, and African excellence.

Her work in media and communications has not only influenced industry trends but has also empowered underrepresented voices through initiatives like the Green October Event and Disability Inclusion Campaigns.
