CLARISSA

What a gift, what a film, what an experience.
World premiere at Cannes today. 🔥🔥

So grateful to God to have been part of this world-class, first-of-its-kind project.

Before I got called for this job, I told God I needed Him to do a big one before the year ended. In fact, I was close to switching careers entirely. But God basically said, “hold My holy communion.” Later, I heard that while trying to fill the role, my madam said, “someone out there is praying for this job.” Little did they know that someone was me.

I worked hard, I was stretched, I even got a promotion in between. Through the sweat and tears, I was constantly reminded that I was living in an answered prayer.

Guys, the credits have rolled at Cannes and my name was there. What??? Fumfum, fumtastic Fumzzz

My favourite thing in this world is working with good and kind people, and that’s exactly what I got to do here. So grateful to my leaders @bola_belo2 @maryannngozi_ @chief_reif @iamizuoba . God bless you and increase you always. I got to learn so much with warmth and kindness. I’ll hold all I have learnt dearly forever because of you. I’m so grateful.

To my visionary directors, Arie Esiri and @chukoesiri this is only the beginning, God has amazing things in store. You are the best.

To my darling roomie Jess baby @symplyjess . I have gained a true friend. Here’s to more enjoyment 🥂

“Clarissa” was the most incredible filmmaking experience ever. I can’t wait for everyone to watch and see what we did.

“One of the hardest things I’m still learning to overcome is GRIEF. I’m not even sure it’s possible to overcome it… but I’ve learned how to live beside it. To gather the memories and look them in the face.

First, the news arrives. Then the relentless refusal to accept it as if rejection alone could force resurrection. Then the ground disappears beneath me. So does every version of myself that existed with that person. A witness to my own existence, gone. In many ways, the pain is a selfish one.

My core changed quietly and permanently. There’s the shock that something so inevitable has happened.

Then the anger “…how dare you? How dare you exist so fiercely and let your absence do the same? How dare the world keep moving when mine stopped?”The sun still rises. The damn birds… still singing, oblivious of my suffering. People still laughing like anything is funny. Bad things still happen. Life in all its beauty and darkness, continues without permission.

It took too long for me to realise that everything is energy. Energy is the life force of everything, seen and unseen. Scientifically & spiritually. The energy of the person I lost still lives with me in memory, in habits and in the way they shaped how I see the world. Now I experience life through their eyes too. A new iPhone or AI feature comes out and I think, “you would have loved this!” I try things the way they might have. Two perspectives in one body.

From that, a new version of me is born. One I could never have created alone. I am not grateful for the loss. I am still bitter sometimes. Still angry… but I’m learning that people are experiences and so am I.

To truly see and feel someone is to immortalise them. Because of that, no one ever really dies…and nothing truly loved is ever lost.”
