Ruth, 39, is the 2021 ambassador of the second Catalyst International Film Festival in Limerick.
Ruth, who was born in Ethiopia, but grew up in Limerick, says she is “absolutely thrilled and delighted” to take the role.
“I feel the Catalyst International Film Festival can and will act as a compass, a beacon, a buoyant celebration of the multitude of exciting stories that are brimming in modern Ireland. And I am thrilled of course, that this is all to take place in Limerick. A city of determination, of grit and resilience, of uncowed beauty with a modern and multicultural identity, that has a diverse and supportive artistic community. It’s the perfect place for a meeting of all these waters,” she said.
