- Born
- Chinonye Chukwu was born on May 19, 1985 in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. She is a director and writer, known for Till (2022), Clemency (2019) and A Long Walk (2013).
- Directed two actors to BAFTA nominations for Best Leading Actress. In 2021, Alfre Woodard was nominated for Clemency (2019). Two years later, Danielle Deadwyler was nominated for Till (2022).
- My joy is a form of resistance.
- I believe that we all have a voice. I don't believe in this idea of giving somebody their voice. The problem is that certain people are silenced, or some people are heard more than others. I think that at the end of the day, all of us as human beings want to be seen and heard.
- When I started to detach from ego and embrace the unwavering belief that I am enough, I started making films for myself and embracing the craft of filmmaking again. Consequently, my work got so much better.
