TW: Actors relate to their character in one way or the other. What parts of this character draws you to her?

LA: Adesuwa is a character with many sides but I was most drawn to the commitment to her friends. I loved how she invested in her relationship with her girlfriends, which is something I relate to a lot.

TW: Did you have to do any intensive research to play Adesuwa in the series?

LA: I really didn't have to do a lot research because besides reading the book, the writer Arese, was available to

give all the necessary information and contexts to the character. Also, there are so many women like Adesuwa around us.

A friend, a sister, or a neighbour; that was all the research I needed.

Did that change your perspective of the Adesuwa character?

On days I knew I would be in front of the camera, I would have rehearsed extra hard at home before the shoot day. This included being off book with my lines for the day and making my acting choices ahead. It was still tough but I had bonded with Adesuwa quite well, so she was in my subconscious.
