No stranger to the U.K award scene; she is the 2017 recipient of the Best Supporting Actress award at the National Film Awards UK which she won earlier this year for her role in A United Kingdom.
The IARA Awards recognises and celebrates the exceptional work of extraordinary positive role models who have excelled within their respective industries.
“I’m attending the IARA Awards ceremony this weekend to acknowledge my nominations. I do what I do for the love of the craft, and not for the recognition. However being recognised for my talent whether locally or on an international platform is always humbling and appreciated. Thank you to the IARA Awards for recognising my talent and for extending the invitation," says Terry.
