“My goal has always been to make viewers more intentional about what they watch,” Edna explained. “It’s also about spotlighting filmmakers who are pushing creative boundaries and telling authentic Nigerian stories.”

The Entertainment Creator of the Year category is one of the most competitive segments of the TikTok Awards, honouring creators who consistently elevate conversations in entertainment and digital culture.
