Giving reasons for her decision, Mummy Wa, during an interview with Punch, said protecting her peace and personal principles has become a top priority this year.
Kemi Ikuseedun, the Nigerian content creator and Nollywood actress, who is popularly known as Mummy Wa, has announced that she will no longer accept projects that disrespect her time or compromise her values.
Giving reasons for her decision, Mummy Wa, during an interview with Punch, said protecting her peace and personal principles has become a top priority this year.
She said, “I am no longer available for projects that will disrespect my time, disrespect or drain my values, and reduce whatever I do to ‘just content’.
“That phrase, ‘just content’, is something I am no longer comfortable with. I am going to work on myself in different ways.
"My peace is very important to me, so anything that disrespects my time or my values, I am no longer available for it.”
The content creator, while addressing her evolution beyond the popular “Mummy Wa” character, explained that while the persona still has room to grow, she is also deliberately creating space for her personal identity and creative range to flourish.
She noted, “There is still a whole lot to the Mummy Wa character. This year, I want to explore and observe more.
"I am allowing Mummy Wa to age and to observe life.
"At the same time, I am giving room for Kemi Ikuseedun to bloom, grow, and showcase other sides of herself in filmmaking and storytelling.”
