Forbes Africa 30 under 30 recipient Kemiyondo Coutinho is a multi-hyphenate writer, actor, and director who writes for the fish out of water.

Garnering multiple international awards, including NBC Universal’s Harness Social Impact Award, her short film KYENVU made a loud directorial debut. Kemiyondo is also the inaugural recipient of John Singleton’s Filmmaker’s Fellowship, Kevin Hart’s Laugh Out Loud Filmmaking Fellowship, Shadow & Act’s Rising Star Award, and has been named one of OKAYAfrica’s 100 Women of Africa to Watch.
