I have for long wanted to meet her as one of my Top African actresses mainly because I am attracted to her determination, excellence and level of influence. She has not stopped on only acting but goes ahead to fan into flame her other gifts.
She is so intentional about her family, health, what she does and friends. To me she is goals!

Given time with her, I would ask her to share with me her life story, her experience balancing the different life facets, challenges she has met along her way and her overall life purpose.
For my retirement plan of being an actress, I also wouldn’t mind having her as a mentor in that area.

She once said,
“I love the African spirit and this is why I do what I do because I see how much potential there is in Africa and its people. Africa is the new market, the new destination. If you don’t know it, now you do.”

Generally, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde is an inspirational woman who manages to juggle a career with her Philanthropic work alongside a busy family life. The reason she made it to the list of African personalities I want to meet.
She is a true definition of maximising potential..
