Sheena's Reaction to the Honor
Reacting to the honor, Sheena expressed her gratitude: "I'm honored and grateful to receive the Arts Ambassador Award for Global Artistic and Cultural Impact. As an actress, I have always believed that cinema and storytelling go far beyond entertainment. They have the ability to shape culture, build empathy, and create meaningful conversations through human stories that connect people across borders."
She added, "Through my films and the roles I continue to take on, I hope to contribute to stories that are culturally relevant and emotionally honest. Every character is an opportunity to reflect something real about society, emotion, and the human experience.
