A driven bundle of creativity which has seen her delve into various projects and activities all in a bid to exhibit her talent, proficiency and passion.The acting bug caught me pretty early because at age 8 I was participating in school plays and watching my aunt and veteran actress, Teni Aofiyebi on TV. Years after my big screen debut happened with Late Amaka Igwe’s film VIOLATED, alongside acting greats Joke Silva, RMD, Ego Boyo and Kunle Bamtefa. Years and roles later, I starred in KEEPING FAITH with Genevieve Nnaji and Bimbo Akintola; Kunle Afolayan’s FIGURINE; Shirley Frimpong-Manso’s GREY DAWN; Kemi Adetiba\'s KING OF BOYS; stage performance on THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES and several TV productions- PALACE, DOCTORS’ QUARTERS, SOLITAIRE, MTV SHUGA, NOUGHTS & CROSSES. Playing Brenda Mensah on MNET’s longest-running Nigerian soap, TINSEL keeps me pretty occupied but still I find time to dabble in other passions.One of which was TOUCH OF SPICE- a live weekly interactive show on radio that ran for thirteen (13) years. FAR conceptualised, packaged, produced, marketed and anchored it.SPICE GIRLS was a model and ushering concern that graced highbrow events like The St. Moritz Style Selection Fashion Show amongst others.With exceptional presentation skills, FAR Co-hosted events like MISS NIGERIA and MTN Project Fame.A dance enthusiast that won the inaugural celebrity dance reality show- CELEBRITY TAKES 2.FAR has also worked with selected brands in various capacities; Airtel, Mamador/PZ, Rite Foods/Bigi, Multichoice Nigeria and Cadbury.Work stints in advertising, experiential marketing and activation mean FAR can bring a lot to bear positively on the Entertainment industry and Corporate Nigeria.Still, the journey continues and I strive to not only develop myself, constantly but also develop others- personally and career-wise. Which has found expression in my latest creative spur- FARAFRIQUE.Which is exploring ways for development, expression and interaction in the digital space.
