Thuso Mbedu, a South African actress, took a short trip home to go to a private screening of “The Woman King” hosted by Nedbank.
In an Instagram post, the breakout star wrote ‘Everyone thinks I am crazy that I flew 21 hours to be in SA for 48 hours and then leave again on another 21 hour flight. But getting to watch @womankingmovie and spend the evening with amazing women made all that worth it! Seeing @Nedbank shining a spotlight on the force that is woman and acknowledging her contribution to the female economy and encouraging us to #Celebr8HerStory was magical.’

Even though some people were critical, Thuso Mbedu was looking forward to the event and liked the way Nedbank made him feel powerful.
I am so excited about tonight’s private screening of @WomanKingMovie brought to you by @Nedbank. After the screening I’ll be in conversation with Buli Ndlovu and Lizzie Mogale from @Nedbank about the female economy, something very close to my heart #Celebr8herStory pic.twitter.com/7XFnPB5k2E

In The Woman King we see @ThusoMbedu as Nawi, giving herself over to the tale of a woman who desires to be heard, not backing down to anyone.
