Where are you from?
A lot of people don’t know that I am half Nigerian and half Ghanaian. My mom is from Accra, Ghana, while my dad is from Ijebu-Ode, in Ogun State, Nigeria. My Ghanaian name is Ohemaa, which means Queen.
What inspired you to start creating the kind of content you share on social media?
Honestly, I started creating content out of boredom. I never had a solid plan or strategy when I first began; I was just having fun. But along the way, I realized that I genuinely enjoyed making people laugh, entertaining them, and even sparking conversations. It became something I derived joy from, and that passion kept me going. Now, it’s more than just a hobby—it’s a platform where I express myself, connect with people, and even make a living.
Your style is bold and daring—have you ever faced backlash, and how do you handle criticism?
Of course, I face backlash all the time! When you’re bold and unapologetic, people will always have something to say. But the truth is, I don’t let their opinions affect me. I believe in doing what makes me happy, and I’ve trained myself to ignore negativity. Not everyone will like you, and that’s okay. I focus on the love and support I receive rather than wasting energy on those who don’t understand me.
What are some of the biggest brands you’ve worked with so far?
I have influenced some brands in the past. I also promoted some events too. I know that with consistency and growth, big brands will eventually recognize my work and collaborate with me. I’m open to working with brands that align with my personality and what I represent.
Are there any brands you dream of collaborating with, like condom brands or lingerie brands?
Absolutely! I would love to work with brands like Kiss Condoms or Lizzy Synergies. I feel like my personality and content style would align perfectly with their marketing approach. I’m all about confidence and being unapologetically yourself, and I think those brands would be a great fit.
Do you think being a social media influencer affects your personal relationships?
Not at all. I’ve found a way to balance my personal life and my online presence. People assume that being in the spotlight means you have no privacy, but that’s not true. I make time for the people that matter to me and ensure that my work doesn’t interfere with my personal relationships.
