About how her life changed after the victory on Oscare: "I would like to return to this conversation for years after 10, when all this noise will remain far behind, and I will see the real prospects of what happened. Now I'm still trying to adapt. I have such a feeling that I was erected into some kind of completely new place. I had a dream to become an actress, but I never thought about glory. And I can not understand how it is to be a celebrity. This is what I'm learning. It would be great to go through a special course that would have taught me to cope with all this. "
The fact that for her means the word "success": "For me there is no specific definition. Every time I overcome the next obstacle, perceive it as a success. Sometimes the biggest barrier is in our head - a provocateur who says that nothing will come out. I always sound in my head: "I can't". And when something turns out, the same voice says: "Well, it's just an exception." This is a constant pulling of the rope: one voice knows that I can do everything, and the other is afraid of failure. "
About Beauty Standards: "European Beauty Standards is like a plague for the whole world. I am talking about the solid belief that dark skin can not be beautiful, and the key to love and success is light skin. Africa in this sense is no exception. When I was in the second grade, one of my teachers said: "Where are you going to look for a husband? How do you find someone darker? " I was just killed. I remember the advertisement in which the woman goes to the interview and falls on it. Then she inflicts bleaching cream on the face and immediately gets a job! After all, the main meaning of this advertising is that dark skin is unacceptable. In the family, I never heard about it - my mother did not say anything like it. But the voice from the TV is usually louder than the vote of the parents. "
