I am full of gratitude to God for preserving my life for bringing me through many ups and downs. I have been nothing short of success. - Dakore Akande

The knowledge that I’m using the gift God gave me, and being a voice for women. That’s what drives me.

I have no problem being fabulous. But being famous, you know, is a double-edged sword. It is a by-product of what we do. I never set out to be famous when I started out on this journey. I just wanted to be the best actress that I could be. It is always a struggle trying to deal with it and balance it. It was quite overwhelming at that time when you have a lot of people saying all sorts of negative thing

I’ve been putting one foot in front of the other. I have just been staying hungry like I haven’t achieved anything. I love to push myself and also love challenges. I don’t want to be bored. I want to keep encouraging my children and other people who look up to me
