But I didn't want to just act. In 2013, I founded Piczels Media Services as Managing Director. Through my company, I've directed documentaries for organizations including the Nigerian Army, produced television shows, and created content that reaches people all across Nigeria. I also do a lot of translation work, moving between English and Hausa, making sure language is never a barrier to good storytelling.

Music has always been a huge part of my life too. I sing, I perform, and right now I'm working on opening my own studio. It's been a dream of mine for a while, having a space where I can create music, where other artists can come and record, where we can build something together.

Over the years, I've trained with some incredible teachers. I attended the Toka Mcbaror Master Class for Acting, Directing, and Cinematography. I went to the Women's International Film Festival, the International Youth Media Summit, and completed leadership training at the Martin Luther Agwai International Leadership Center. I believe in constantly learning, constantly growing.

I've also written, directed, and produced my own projects. My short film The Last Call was a labor of love. I created TV shows like Shirrin Jarumai and Na'isa, which focused on people living with disabilities. I produced children's programs because I think it's important to tell stories for young audiences too.

These days, I split my time between acting, directing, producing, singing, running my company, and training young filmmakers. I'm still based in Kaduna, still passionate about the work, and still excited about what comes next. The studio, new music, new films. There's a lot ahead, and I can't wait.

I was born and raised in Kaduna, Northwestern Nigeria, where I still live with my family today. This is where everything started for me. As a child, I was obsessed with Hausa films. I'd watch them for hours, completely captivated by the storytelling, the performances, the way actors could transport you to another world.

After finishing my primary and secondary education in Nigeria, I went to Scotland to study law. I earned my LLM in Oil and Gas Law from the University of Aberdeen, then came back to complete my Barrister at Law qualification at the Nigerian Law School in Abuja. I also hold a Bachelor of Law (Second Class Upper Division) from the University of Jos and a Diploma in International Environmental Law from UNITAR. Right now, I'm pursuing my Ph.D. in Alternative Dispute Resolution at the University of Jos, alongside a Master's in Organizational Leadership and Management. In 2015, I made the decision that changed everything. I came back from Scotland and entered the film industry, joining both Kannywood and Nollywood. I wanted to be one of those actors I'd admired as a child. I wanted to tell stories that mattered.

My acting career took off faster than I expected. I landed roles in major productions like Amina, Black Book, Voiceless, and Breaking Out. In 2022, I was nominated for Best Actress at the African Movies Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA), which was a surreal moment. To be recognized like that, across the continent, meant everything.
