Let the drums roll for Delta’s own daughter—Korra Obidi. In a moment dripping with pride and purpose, Nigerian multi-hyphenate star, Anita Chukwumfumaya Obidi, professionally known as Korra Obidi, has been officially honored by the Atlanta City Council for her “Outstanding Contributions to the Caribbean Community.”
In the vibrant photo, Korra beams with a radiant smile, rocking intricate, artful braids and a navy knit top paired with a playful brown pleated skirt. She holds the blue proclamation folder in her hands, her gratitude nearly leaping off the page. Behind her, an Afrocentric painting seems to celebrate the very spirit Korra brings to the world stage.

The proclamation highlights her journey from Igboro in Delta State, Nigeria, to the global limelight. Korra has become a symbol of resilience, creativity, and cultural representation, breaking boundaries as a singer-songwriter, dancer, and model. She’s blazed through AFRIMA nominations, conquered dance floors from Africa to the U.S., and proudly rocked her African roots while inspiring both African and Caribbean communities.

In her words, “I’m so grateful. Small girl, Big God.” No truer words for a woman who’s spent her life amplifying Nigerian and African identity—through music, movement, and an unwavering commitment to cultural exchange.
Korra’s honor is a victory for every African creative pushing the envelope abroad, showing that our stories, struggles, and triumphs are not just valid—they are worth celebrating on the biggest stages. Salute to the queen for shining the Nigerian image brighter than Atlanta city lights.
