theGrio's.com honors Omo's leadership and innovation in the fields of Education and Activism, trumpeting The Young People's Project's national math literacy work and Quality Education as a Constitutional Right initiative. "theGrio's 100:History Makers in the Making" selected 100 individuals, each with their own path to success, from 10 fields including business, education, sports, science and the environment, media, service and activism, politics, health, pop culture, and the arts.

Omo shares this award with the Young People's Project, considering the opportunity "an opening that allows YPP's work to move into a more public domain. YPP will continue to present the idea of young people as critical resources to healthy schools, neighborhoods, communities and society."
