There is a bird that’s pitch black and people used to sing a song calling me that bird,” “Although I have never been told that my skin was the reason for me not getting roles, I have tried to work with what I have and work with Pan-African productions where I know that I have the look. I tend to go where I am celebrated and block off everything else,”
Congratulations to the actress.
