What an incredible evening! ✨ I was honored to be hosted by @USAIDNigeria and @HelenKellerIntl for a private screening of "Uprising: Wives on Strike 3," a powerful new film starring my amazing self. Seeing this story come to life on screen(maybe for the 59th time🤫) was truly captivating, and it perfectly captures the spirit of empowerment and community that we're working towards together. 💪🏾

"Uprising" shines a light on the importance of collective action, a cause so close to my heart. And speaking of which... I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be collaborating with USAID on a short film, for the @betafood_betalife campaign! 🎬

We'll be using the power of storytelling to explore and facilitate the change we need concerning healthy and accessible nutrition in Nigeria🇳🇬

Huge thanks to USAID Nigeria and Helen Keller Intl for their incredible work and for making this special.
