It all started 2014. I lived with this total stranger called scar since 2014 and ever since then, I lost all confident even with the listings. I remember when I decided to settle in the USA, looking for job was traumatizing cause I would relate every rejection to the scar on my face lol.

Close friends in the movie industry all knew when it happened. I totally lost it, nights I would cry endlessly, how I tagged myself as ug*y cause is my face we talking about, days I would feel like ending it all cause I refused to accept my reality. I was and never a makeup kind of person but I had to start so I can cover up a little. I bite you surprise seeing it now 🤣.

I remember whenever my mom saw me, she would say, oh Sonia so you now permanently have a new identity? A mark I never gave you from birth? I would control my tears and smile, she feels so unhappy for me. Just these visits to Nigeria, she said same thing and my response this time was, Mummy, don’t worry I will try and take it off just to make her happy.
