Matemotja exemplifies the 2018 festival theme of women’s empowerment

Thank you Downtown Los Angeles Film Festival for this amazing Female Pioneer Award, and to my amazing cast, crew, family and friends, for whom without, Elevate would not have been possible. 

Given the #metoo element within Elevate, I am extremely proud to receive this award at this particular time in Womens history. The #timesUp and #meToo movements that have come to the forefront of society this last year makes receiving this award all the more meaningful and inspires me to share Elevate with as many audiences as possible.

Thank you Karolyn Sossa for such an honor and an amazing festival experience! 💕
