You must not know everybody, it has nothing to do with indomie generation. That person is also like me that doesn't know her, it's the first time I'm hearing her name.

Did she start acting before actors like Regina Askia, Sandra Achums, Grace Amah, Kate Henshaw etc? ........I got to know Kate Henshaw and Bob Manuel after watching the movie "WHEN THE SUN SETS"
