Out of 100 nominees, Ngugi was among only 22 individuals who got to carry a trophy home.

"I want to dedicate this special award to all the people that have shared their stories with me. We have cried together, laughed together and impacted so many lives together," read her post in part.

According to WIFA awards director Dr Susan Gitimu, the awards aimed at bringing women filmmakers in Kenya together to provide a space where the diversity of women’s voices, stories and creativity is equally recognized and celebrated.

"I don't take the many times you sit across me and decide to share your deepest stories with me for granted. Thank you Lord for your love and protection💛," concluded Ngugi's post.
