Omotola Jalade Ekeinde is Nigeria's biggest A-list Nollywood actress, a singer and a committed philanthropist.

She's also a business leader in the entertainment industry. In 2019, Omotola led the hugely successful inaugural Entertainment Fair and Festival, #TEFFEST2019, in which I had the pleasure of attending.

After a career-defining role in Mortal Inheritance, Omotola's portrayal won her "Best Actress in an English Speaking Movie" and "Best Actress Overall" at the 1997 THEMA (The Movie Awards). She was the youngest actress in Nigeria at this time to achieve this feat.

In 2012, she starred in the Nollywood blockbuster Last Flight to Abuja which beat Hollywood blockbusters like Spiderman, Ice Age, The Avengers, and Madagascar to become the 2nd highest-grossing movie in West African cinemas in 2012.

In 2013, Omotola was honoured in Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people in the world alongside Michelle Obama, Beyoncé and Kate Middleton.

In 2014, she was honoured by the Nigerian government as a Member of the Order of the Federal Republic, MFR for her contributions to Nigerian cinema.

In 2019, Omotola received an honorary doctorate from Igbinedion University, Okada, for her contribution to entertainment arts in Nigeria.

Most know Omotola from the big screen. I am lucky to know Omotola personally and wanted to invite you to get a glimpse into her journey.

What becomes clear when you get to know Omotola, is that she is a genuinely lovely person and committed family woman with a strong passion for helping others.

In this interview, we get to know the story behind the legend in an interview we filmed at The George Lagos Hotel in Nigeria.

Enjoy!

Vicki Anstey shot to fame as a finalist in Channel 4's "Who Dares Wins", a gruelling test of physical and mental toughness as recruits are put through their paces in real SAS selection exercises in the Chilean Andes. She's also the founder of Barreworks, a physical training method based on the strength exercises of professional ballet dancers.

Vicki is now preparing for her next challenge: "The Great Pacific Race" where she and 3 other women will attempt to break the world record for rowing from SanFrancisco to Hawaii, a 4000 km stretch, unaided. They are taking sponsorship pledges now - link below.

Vicki is an inspiring example of dreaming big, and pushing your personal limits, physically, mentally and in business. She refers to herself and her fellow Pacific Ocean rowers as "ordinary women". Yet what she has achieved is extraordinary. Her underlying message is that ordinary people can do extraordinary things by emnbracing and overcoming their fears.

You'll be buzzing with renewed motivation after listening to Vicki speak.
