I am an African. African taught the world how to be beautiful. Europeans were backward as far as that aspect was concerned then. - Taiwo Ajai Lycett

I have been through the fire, I have been through the furnace, I emerged fortified.I have learnt a lot from the universe. Where you have to go, you would go. The universe pushes you in the direction of your thoughts. It helps you actualise what you are thinking in the inner recesses of your mind

I am not in the business to just play a goody-goody, I am in the business of playing strong characters, delineated, clear, vibrant, and believable. So whether the person is unhappy or wicked has nothing to do with it. When people who you see as wicked are doing bad things, you should try and see what is worrying them. The character I play, Yahimba, is hurting and she does not have a relationship with her children. Such a woman will be bitter and hurting. What people call wickedness is somebody trying to find her way through life.

I like people to remember me for being consistent, a woman of integrity and honour.
