Alimatu Lemakhan Sesay, a local actress, has been nominated for the category of ‘Supreme Actress of the Year 2023’ among other prominent actresses in Africa.
This came about after several public nominations had been made on her behalf through websites and through a system of peer adjudication with final ballot tabulation by the Academy Advisory Board and Board of Directors of Supreme Dynamic Talent Academy (SDTA), the award company.
In the same category, Sesay was nominated with Ghanaian and Nigerian actresses including, Nikki Samonas, Chinenye NNebe, etc.
According to the award company, the winner of the crown will be determined by public voting.
Sesay appealed to Sierra Leoneans to vote for her so that she would bring the trophy home, which she added would be a pride for the country. “To gain international recognition, which is now bringing me international nominations, is as a result of the support I am getting from Sierra Leoneans. So, I am also appealing to all Sierra Leoneans to vote for me so that the trophy will come to Sierra Leone. If I win, the country has won. To vote, you can enter my code, ‘NN13’, enter number of votes, and confirmed amount and vote details,” she said.
Sesay is the founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Lima’s Diary movie production. In 2021, the National Films Awards Company awarded her the ‘Best Actor’ in ‘Profit Point’, a movie she wrote and produced.
