Nollywood actress Foluke Daramola has urged her colleagues in the entertainment industry to speak out more about the personal struggles they face, warning that silence born out of shame or fear of judgement often leaves people to suffer alone.
Daramola made the appeal on Tuesday while speaking at a candlelight night held in honour of late actress, Temitope Osoba, at LTV 8 (Blueroof), Ikeja, Lagos.
The event, tagged “An Evening of Love, Music & Memories,” was organised by friends of the deceased actress to celebrate her life, creativity and contributions to the arts.
Speaking at the event, Daramola said many people within the industry battle personal issues silently, often putting up appearances that mask deeper struggles.
“We don’t speak out, maybe because of shame or body shaming, but I feel we should speak out more. At the end of the day, when we speak out, we can be there for one another, because everyone is going through something different,” she said.
