It feels awesome to be recognized for your work.
I am super grateful to receive the Best Actress Award from the Independent Cinephiles Short Film Festival.
In the latter part of 2021, my team and I released our short film, UnOrdinary Love, to a variety of film festivals to showcase our hard work to the world.
With all the awards we were able to garner, this award is special to me because it acknowledges my acting ability. I’ve worked so many years to prove to myself and to the industry I belong here.
Everyone wants to be acknowledged for their efforts, work, and existence; that acknowledgement must first come from oneself. Self-acceptance should be at the forefront before any external validation is sought.
So do the best you can, be happy with yourself first and understand any recognition outside of yourself is just icing on the cake.
