Emma Kok receives Vrouw in the Media Award during premiere of her own theater tour

During the festive premiere of her very first theater tour in Maastricht, Emma not only received a standing ovation, she was also presented with the Vrouw in the Media Award for the province of Limburg. She is praised as a female role model for how powerful and inspiring she is despite her illness, according to the votes.

The fact that her name ended up at the top of the voting for the Vrouw in the Media Award is not only due to her impressive voice. The audience appears to be just as moved by her candor about living with a chronic illness. Halfway through the performance, Emma was surprised with the award. A work of art by visual artist Ellen Buchwaldt, which she received from jury chair Ingeborg Dijkstra. Naturally, this was met with loud applause from the audience.
