I must say it is such a surprise but a good one; one that I can’t stop smiling about. Like industries grow, this position comes with a huge responsibility, one that requires a great deal of time and dedication on my part. But I would like to say I am very prepared and ready. I will do whatever it takes putting in the time and effort it requires so that our overall objective of changing African narratives through film will come to fruition. Thank you so much,” she said.
