Other people do better going on to grad school and others yet are naturally inclined and do just fine without any formal training at all. Everyone is different. The only things I think are imperative are focus, determination and hard work.

Be sure of what you want work hard, be ready to pick yourself up, do not take rejection personally, be as prepared as you can, always be learning, and eliminate negative people from your life regardless of who they are.

I was a musical theatre geek in high school and college.

My name is very specific to my family. I'm very proud of being Nigerian. I understand that most people can't pronounce it, but that's OK.

Comedy has always been something I love, but for some reason - probably because of the British accent - I've always been pushed toward more period work.

I pretty much only wear high heels.

When I'm just walking around, I swap between the British and the American, and when I'm with my family I'm with my Nigerian accent.
