I really wanted to work in the entertainment space. That was why I studied Media and Theatre Arts for my first degree. Also, the world keeps moving and digital content is one of the new waves now. I believe that was my entry into the entertainment space. In 2020, I had my first viral video, but I started creating content in 2019.
I think I was one of the earliest people to start influencing. I don’t know if that was why I decided I was going to go into it full time.
You’re right. It’s been a long time since I made lipgloss content. I have not outgrown it. I really like it and now that you reminded me, I’m going to post something on my social media “story.” However, I think that’s what makes entertainment interesting. You can start in one space and find your foot in another space. What matters is that you are constantly growing and that is what I am doing.
I spend time researching and ensuring that I am constantly evolving because at the end of the day, it’s not just for fun. It’s a job and there’s a strategy behind it. Beyond content, I produced my first hit movie series last year and I am working on another one. I am also in school. I am just trying to put my hands into different things.
I have grown past it now, though in the beginning of my career, I paid attention to it. I believe I have done a lot for myself to be bothered about what people think. I don’t think anyone should have an opinion on how another person lives their life as long as they are not hurting people. I don’t look out for criticism, and I don’t pay attention to it.
I think the title fits perfectly into the storyline of the movie. It was also the end of an era between me and my friends that were content creators, so we wanted it to also be a representation of that. That was why we chose ‘All of us,’ meaning, togetherness.
I really like Instagram. Maybe it is because Instagram pays me more but TikTok is really supportive of creators. Instagram does not pay me as an app but brands are more likely to advertise on Instagram compared to TikTok
I have plans to go to film school abroad. I have an upcoming series titled, ‘The Six’, and my next goal is to keep creating work that resonates for a long time that people would always make reference to. I don’t think there is anything else I want to do that I have not done, except music. Maybe in my later life, I would make Christian music, because I always thought I would be a Christian singer. I used to sing in the Church choir while growing up.
Nigeria remains my first love but I am trying to dominate the African scene. I think it is important to create content that can travel and resonate beyond the shores of one’s country and that’s what I’m trying to do. I’m trying to go to Tanzania, Gambia and other countries as well.
