Her ability to harness the cinematic arts to bridge cultural divides and foster understanding is truly extraordinary.

Tonya, your passion for celebrating the art of filmmaking, your dedication to uniting people, and your tireless work to elevate voices that matter inspire us all. We’re incredibly proud of your achievements and deeply grateful for the passion and vision you bring to everything you do.
