How I borrowed money to register as a certified actress -Genny Uzoma

Fair skinned Nollywood thespian Genny Uzoma has made a critical but true revelation about her sojourn into moviedom by squealing that she actually went cap in hand to borrow funds to register as a certified actress when she started out in Enugu.

The talented actress who was talking about her humble sojourn into the world of make-believe said she had to source for funds to power her ambition to become an actress when he parents didn’t approve of her quest to pursue her dreams.  

"I joined the actors’ guild of Nigeria the Enugu chapter at the age of 18 whilst in the university. I had also been really good with the arts, literature and English and participated in plays while in secondary school. I saw acting as beautiful and fascinating and I wanted to join up, I remember I had to borrow money to register as I couldn't tell my parents about it then and the guild wouldn't let me audition without being a member. I was mighty excited about it, I couldn't believe I was sharing the screen with my idols and role models, people I looked up to even if it was little roles I got then, we used to call it executive wakapass."

Continuing, she said: "My parents didn't approve of my acting when I started, they didn't want me to spiral out of control but they've come around now, and mum keeps asking me of the movies I've done that she can watch now."
