At this year’s Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) Somkele went home with the Trailblazer award for her peerless acts in movies like 93 Days. The Nigerian born actress came into spotlight as a supporting actress on NdaniTV’s hit web series Gidi Up, where she played the role of Yvonne, the fashion designer. However, it was not until 2016 that her roles in 93 Days, The Wedding Party and, The Arbitration made her a name to be reckoned with as she became the first female international rising star at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
