Canada based award-winning documentary filmmaker and factual producer/director, Michelle Mama won the prestigious Canadian Screen Award, for her work as Executive Producer, on the show, ‘Canada’s Drag Race’, by the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television. The show won the ‘Best Reality/Competition Program or Series’ award, beating other frontrunners including ‘The Amazing Race Canada’, ‘Big Brother Canada’, ‘Canada’s Ultimate Challenge’ and ‘Best in Miniature’.

Michelle Mama earlier won the Diversity Award, at the 2022 World Zoroastrian Congress, held in New York, which recognizes Zoroastrian leaders driving towards racial and gender inclusion, equity and diversity.

Expressing how Canada had an ‘edge’ in the Drag Race world with its unique comedy, Michelle Mama shared, “There’s sort of an outsider kind of sitting on top of the elephant’s head, and influenced by the UK, so we have our own sense of humour and I think when you put that into the Drag Race blender, it’s magic!”
