The March 14 publication on the magazines website calls them “The Global actors who know no limits”

The actress said she was “Shocked” to receive the email, but made out time to visit the Vogue office in New York where she met the team, and further enlightened them about Nigeria’s fledgling film industry, as they knew very little about Nollywood. She said that the experience for her is one that will not be forgotten in a hurry.

“It’s imprinted in my history for all time and I think that’s really special.”
