Hutchings disclosed that she encountered bullying and racial discrimination throughout her primary and secondary education.
Scottish-Nigerian actress Carolyna Hutchings has revealed that she was racially abused in Nigeria.
According to her, she experienced racism during her childhood in Nigeria as a mixed-race individual.
She made the revelation in a recent interview with Arise TV.
Hutchings disclosed that she encountered bullying and racial discrimination throughout her primary and secondary education, primarily due to her skin color and hair texture.
Hutchings said: “As a mixed-race living in Nigeria, who was brought up by her grandmom, I faced a lot of racism. The colour of my skin and the texture of my hair were a big problem for me. I was bullied all through primary school to secondary school. So I had to learn how to defend myself.
“I also suffered racism at my workplace. I’m such a scholar. I have an MBA and MSA in international law. I have a lot of professional certificates from Lagos Business School from Unilag. I have a lot of certificates. I have a Doctorate as well. So when you speak and you’re a beautiful mixed-race woman, you tend to get bashed. In this society, I went through that. I also faced the stigmatisation of being a divorcee. I have built a thick skin for myself.”
