“Anka Elevation, for me, is about excellence in the service of uplifting messages for the youth; it is about giving a voice to communities that have long remained in the shadows; it is about bringing cultural diversity to light.
I totally agree with this vision which aims to elevate not only the other but oneself too. I like the idea that young people can grow with characters that look like them, with values of authenticity, self-love, trust, and respect for others.”
