The Star Actress That Almost Got Away Ft Genoveva Umeh

We know her as 'Timeyin' in Blood Sisters and 'Zina' in Far From Home; and undoubtedly, as a fantastic actress. But on this episode of Tea With Tay, Nigerian TV star, Genoveva Umeh opens up on how a conviction that acting was nothing more than a hobby, had compelled her to shelve her passion for law. With one AMVCA nomination under her belt and an impressive portfolio working with Netflix and Showmax as proof that she's the IT girl, Gen takes us behind the glitz, glamour and posh British accent to her childhood in Enugu, her move to Britain and how the movie industry almost lost her to a life in Law. This episode is proof that overnight successes are a myth as Gen runs us through her days before the fame when she hustled endlessly, as a Primark attendant, a budding actress and an IJBG.

If you're in need of a sign to strive for more and never give up, dive in for a full dose of inspiration and enjoy!
