One of the people I like in the industry is Aunty Tina Mba, her interpretation is impeccable and you do not see her everywhere. Another person like that is Aunty Joke Muyiwa. She does not act every day. To me, acting is more of a hobby than a job. I act when I feel like; I do not allow people to push me around. If I do not fit a role I am being offered, I say sorry I do not fit that role. I am not an everyday actress, I have never wanted to be a face on every movie jacket, I don’t want to do that; I just want to be remembered for being good at what I do’. She explained.
