In 2005 she was awarded the Africa Movie Academy Award for Best Actress in a Motion picture and was the first actress to win the prize.

Genevieve, 39, made her directorial debut in over 100 films and several TV ads–including Lux, Pronto and Omo–with the film Lion heart, which has become a great success and a boost to the career of the actress cum filmmaker.
