KK: Lagos is a fast place in the sense it’s pretty easy to get caught in the hustle and bustle of it. However, my Sierra Leone heritage helps me find my balance when I need to slow down and reevaluate.
KK: Work, going to the gym, getting stuck in traffic (!), and spending time with my friends and chosen family.
KK: I’ll give that to my best friend named Philldella Yve. She’s an actress & content creator whose journey continues to inspire and resonate with me. She’s very mindful and intentional as a person, extremely go-getting in nature and at the same time patient with her journey. She’s been like a guardian angel making sure I stay in alignment with my own journey and prevailing through.
KK: To be frank, I feel I still have a long way to go when it comes to rewards. However I love when a passionate fan runs up to me to let me know they watched one of my films. I also love that I get to work with the best actors and actresses in Nigeria, that once upon a time, I had only met in my imagination.
KK: Cassava leaves and white rice.
KK: Catfish pepper soup and seafood okra soup. For street food it’s ram meat suya.
KK: Meditation, yoga, mindfulness & the authentic positive people I surround myself with.
