In a remarkable recognition of his outstanding contributions to storytelling, acclaimed actor David Oyelowo, known for his roles in BAFTA, Emmy, and Golden Globe-nominated works such as Lawmen: Bass Reeves, Nightingale, and Selma, is set to be honored with a distinguished award. The accolade celebrates Oyelowo’s multifaceted career as an actor, producer, director, and writer, spanning both television and film.
The award acknowledges Oyelowo’s commitment to illuminating stories and characters traditionally marginalized in the global entertainment marketplace. The presentation is scheduled to take place at NAPTE Global, a prominent industry event running from January 16 to 18 at InterContinental Miami.
Oyelowo and his wife, Jessica Oyelowo, have recently entered into a multi-year first-look deal with Apple TV+ through their Yoruba Saxon banner. This partnership will see the couple develop and produce a range of series and feature film projects.
His role as the co-founder of MANSA, a free streaming platform dedicated to curating global Black cultural content, underscores his commitment to fostering diverse narratives and voices within the entertainment landscape.
