Nollywood actress Funke Akindele has come out to reflect on her early days in the movie industry.
She recently revealed that not being in the spotlight wasn’t enough to kill her passion and dream.
Speaking via her Instagram page, Funke shared that it was a difficult learning phase she had to deal with during the early stage of her acting career.
According to her, the waiting period ended up teaching her all she needed to know about people, purpose, and process, and she is very grateful for the wait.
Thanking God for grace and growth, the movie star expressed gratitude for her purpose on earth that keeps unfolding.
Funke concluded by saying that even when she didn’t have the right tools to channel her talent properly, her passion kept burning regardless.
“One year, no spotlight. The dreams were loud. The tools? Not much. But the passion showed up – every single day.
I wasn’t just about playing a role. It was a season of deep learning – about people, purpose and process. Once, it was all about potential. But time, growth and grace turned the process into purpose.
Each frame carried quiet prayers. Each moment is a seed, and truly, this is only the beginning. Throwback Thursday frames…Not just pictures — but reminders of where it all started.
The quiet days. The learning moments. The little beginnings. Every step shaped the journey. Grateful for growth. Grateful for grace. And most of all – grateful for the purpose that keeps unfolding,” she wrote.
