Kemi Adetiba is confident she will win an Oscar in less than 5 years

She produced the record-breaking movie, The Wedding Party and her King Women web series has been praised too.

In the coming episode of CNN African Voices, Kemi Adetiba spoke on the success of the The Wedding Party movie, the inspiration for King Women and her Oscar dream.

“The reason why I developed King Women is because I wanted women to see these role models of the earth, these women that we draw inspiration from that we put on pedestals, I wanted them to see them in their glory, but also understand that they have also gone through life, and life for them was not easy… People need to hear these stories, and I’m so grateful to everyone who gave me their time to make this series.”

“I honestly do believe that winning an Oscar is going to come very soon; I’ve given myself two to five years“.

And we believe in you, Kemi!
