Pretty Feyisekemi Akinwale, the 19-year old winner of the 2013 Next Movie Star Africa Reloaded Edition, has said she is fully prepared to take up any role and make her mark in the Nigerian movie industry.

The French undergraduate of Ekiti State University said given the opportunity, the sky is the beginning for her.

“I am ready for any script, movie auditions and ultimately, locations. I am charged up to deliver and won’t relent on the fact that I came tops among scores of talents that were also deserving of the title,” Feyisekemi told P.M.NEWS Entertainment Cafe.

According to her, she is not expecting things to be easy the same way she was thinking prior to her coming to the NMS house.

“I know it is not going to be easy living up to the standard already set by the array of stars that has been produced through the NMS platform but with God on my side and determination, I will hold my own and succeed,” she added.

On how she will achieve this task, Feyisekemi, who has Google to thank for stumbling online on the information for the audition, said she is ready to build herself, embrace mentorship, research and learn from others who have been in the industry before her.

“It is not enough to say you are talented, you have to read and research. I’ll surely search for a mentor to guide me through the path to greatness and success. You can’t buy experience, so, I will surrender myself to learn from those who are treading this path so that they will help navigate my way through,” the budding star said.
