what her biggest challenge is; This is what she told Punch......
Sometimes, it is related with my colour. The fact that I
am of a mixed race makes people think that I receive
preferential treatment. That is a huge misconception.
There are times my colour is a disadvantage and I cannot
get certain roles.
They would rather give the role to a dark-skinned actor
especially if both parents are dark in the movie.
Sometimes, the fair-complexioned actors are cast in the
roles of husband snatchers and other bad characters.
People don't know that we go through a lot.
It has been very challenging to get a role that can elevate
my talent.However, I am being told now that I am
receiving more favours because of my fair complexion. It
seems people now have issues with coloured people...
