Nollywood actor and filmmaker Lateef Adedimeji has spoken about his journey following his recognition at the Africa Illustration Awards.
Sharing a video from the event, where he was honoured with an award for his impact in the industry, he said that when he set out on his journey, the goal was to find creative ways and make a name for himself. But, as growth set in, the goal shifted to inspiring every young dreamer.
Lateef said his recent recognition is a testament to hard work, dedication, professionalism, and determination. He said he has looked up to icons, and it feels surreal to be called one.
“”When I set out on this journey, the goal was pretty simple: to find creative ways to show the world what I can do, and then make a name for myself while at it.
As growth set in, the goal shifted further to inspiring every young dreamer. All I’ve done down the years is to achieve this. So, when this came in, it felt different. This is a testament to hard work, dedication, professionalism and determination.
I’ve looked up to icons; it’s surreal to be called one. I hope this inspires you to confirm to yourself that it’s possible if you believe.
Thank you for this. I’m grateful, and I’m not ready to stop.
Thank you @africaillustriousawards for this Recognition”.
