Misha Maseka 

Misha Maseka is an award-winning filmmaker, writer and musician. Born in eSwatini to Zambian parents but growing up in South Africa, Australia and settling in Canada, she has seen much of the world and its people. This fueled her innate curiosity as a child and has carried on to sustain her curiosity as an adult. Being inquisitive about the world around her serves her well in her expression of the arts, as she identifies as a multidisciplinary artist. With her auteur debut, “Not That Deep”, Misha won “Best Short” and “Audience Choice Award” at Berlin Short Film Festival and was officially selected at Calgary International Film Festival. With music as her longest practice, she makes time to write and perform music under the stage name, Lemba.
