- 457 viewsAt 13, Simisola Gbadamosi is Nigeria’s youngest Emmy nominee. Her role as Tola Martins in Disney+’s Iwájú earned her a spot in the “Outstanding Younger Voice Performer” category at the Children’s & Family Emmy Awards—cementing her as a rising star in global animation. Set in a futuristic Lagos, Iwájú is the brainchild of Kugali Media, a pan-African creative studio whose 2018 BBC interview led to a groundbreaking collaboration with Disney. The six-episode series reimagines the city’s future, blending tradition, technology, and storytelling for a global audience. As Gbadamosi awaits the results in Los Angeles tonight, her nomination is bigger than her. For her talent manager Keke Hammmond, it’s a win for Nigerian storytelling and a nod to the power of authentic African voices in animation.
