What made you want to be an actor?
 

From a young age, I’ve always loved performing. Singing, dancing and rapping came naturally to me. Once I realised I could bring those talents into acting, my passion for it skyrocketed.

 
What kind of actor do you aspire to be?
 

I aspire to be a versatile and impactful actor whose performances inspire, move and bring true stories to life. I also hope to motivate others to pursue or continue acting, especially those who come from similar circumstances as mine, showing them that their dreams are possible too.

 
What films, shows or books are currently inspiring you?
 

The film that’s currently inspiring me is Sinners. The acting, the historical depth, the plot twists – even the smallest details were truly mind-blowing. As an actress, I couldn’t help but watch it and imagine myself in it.

 
What would be your dream role?
 
My dream roles would be ‘Jaq’ from Topboy, ‘Shuri’ from Black Panther, ‘Raquel’ from Power Book III: Raising Kanan and ‘Minty/Harriet’ from Harriet Tubman.
