Nollywood actress Funke Akindele: “I’m deeply honoured and truly grateful to be featured in The Hollywood Reporter’s “The Most Influential Women in International Film.” To be recognized among 46 powerful, visionary women from around the world is more than a moment of celebration—it’s a call to keep building, creating boldly, and lifting others as we rise.

“A heartfelt congratulations to Aunty Mo Abudu who has also been featured in this great piece. Thank you so much, Ma, for your invaluable contribution to the creative industry. It’s honor to be featured alongside someone who has been such a powerful source of inspiration.”
