The up-and-coming actress joined her co-stars David Oyelowo, Lupita Nyong’o, director Mira Nair as well as Phiona Mutesi and Robert Katende, who inspired the true-life story.

Queen of Katwe centers on Phiona, a young girl selling corn on the streets of rural Uganda whose world rapidly changes when she is introduced to the game of chess, and, as a result of the support she receives from her family and community, is instilled with the confidence and determination she needs to pursue her dream of becoming an international chess champion.
