How does David look so good in that picture despite having a buzzcut? Yvonne is an akata who wants to use her heritage for financial gain and nothing else. This news does not concern us. She is Nigerian only in name and not in upbringing.

In the article Yvonne shared, it says First Gen was wittern by Yvonne and tells the story of her personal experiences growing up as a Nigerian immigrant in America.

It said as a child Yvonne was caught between trying to honor her parents and culture while simultaneously trying to assimilate to American life.

Oyelowo also shared the news on Instagram.

He said,

Oyelowo will executive produce under his Yoruba Saxon Productions banner, with Winfrey and Carla Gardini executive producing for Harpo Films.

Yvonne is best known for her role as Molly on the hit HBO series Insecure, she was nominated for an Emmy for best supporting actress in a comedy for the show in 2020.

She won a Black Reel Award for her role as Molly.

Insecure also announced it will be coming on Wednesday after its fifth season.

Reacting to the news Yvonne said, “It’s, crazy. Seems like it was just yesterday that we were starting this journey… and now, it’s time to say goodbye. I know we’ve caused y’all stress (with our bad decisions), joy (in our friendships), hope (in Black love) and laughter (with all the awkward moments).

“Thru it all, we thank YOU ALL for rocking with us! And MAJOR SHOUT OUT to the visionary herself, @issarae for creating such excellence! And to @the_a_prentice & @msmelina for being our fearless leaders!”

Insecure first aired on October 9, 2016.

Yvonne, 37, was born in Port Harcourt but grew up in Laurel, Maryland US.

Despite his achievements on and off the screen, David Oyelowo is humble. He has a steady head and heart with no scandal to the best of my knowledge since he got married since 1998

So, Oprah Winfrey is an Igbo too? Attache by force will kill you guys at the end. Maybe you've forgotten that it's Oyelowo, a Yoruba man that is helping the career of your Igbo sister.

Shameless people !.

You can tell that to your Igbo sister who ran to him for help.

Did you just say a wack actor? Maybe you should go and read more about David Oyelowo and the movies he has featured.

The people who gave you shoe caveman when you walk barefoot. Without Abia none from your entire family would have afford Italian shoe..Look at this tree jumper from skull mining dominated land trying to talk thrash.

I gave you this federal system you now jump like a little Chinese mongrel.

When did you got sense to even want to challenge your master.. Nonsense.

Wow, I never knew that guy was a Nigerian guy, watched one of his movie with Angelina jolie....

Na even pure Yoruba guy
I've seen that movie. From the beginning of the movie you will see an inscription on the screen that portray "Yoruba" culture and label. He is proud of his lineage just like Anthony Joshua.
