Congrats to Michelle Mama on winning a Canadian Screen Award, presented by the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television!
Michelle won an award for her work as an Executive Producer on the show Canada’s Drag Race, which won Best Reality/Competition Program or Series.
Michelle is an award-winning documentary filmmaker and factual producer/director. She won the Diversity Award at the 2022 World Zoroastrian Congress in NYC, which recognizes Zoroastrian leaders driving towards racial and gender inclusion, equity and diversity.
Executive producer Michelle Mama is quoted added that Canada has an “edge” in the Drag Race world with its unique comedy.
“There’s sort of an outsider kind of sitting on top of the elephant’s head, and influenced by the U.K., so we have our own sense of humour and I think when you put that into the Drag Race blender, it’s magic,” Mama highlighted.
