“J’la is an inspired young filmmaker with a soulful eye and a passion for innovative and forward-leaning storytelling,” said Motown Chairwoman & CEO Ethiopia Habtemariam. “As a label that is committed to elevating Black creative work, we are excited to provide her an opportunity and the creative space to cultivate her natural talent and expand her portfolio.”
