In this episode, Tay closes out Season 5 with Venita Akpofure, British-Nigerian actress, model and entrepreneur, for a conversation about reinvention, motherhood, and finally coming into her own.
From her early years modelling and starring as the iconic Mimi on AY’s Crib to becoming one of the highest-paid video vixens in Africa before social media existed to amplify any of it, Venita reflects on building a career from scratch and on the culture shock of straddling two very different worlds growing up between Warri and the UK.
She also opens up about losing herself completely during her marriage, the bathroom moment that made her realise she needed out, rebuilding her life and finances almost from nothing in Turkey, and how she’s raising her two daughters with intention while refusing to let bitterness take root.
There are funny moments, honest reflections, and plenty of tea from a woman closing out this season exactly the way she opened her career on her own terms.
