I wanted to challenge conventional storytelling and take the audience on a journey that is both thought-provoking and emotionally intense. I’m humbled by the recognition and especially dedicate this award to Alex Okonkwo and Chidiebere Okonkwo for their invaluable support in bringing this project to life. I hope this is just the beginning of many more impactful stories to come.”
