In an interview with Forbes Africa, Minnie opened up about her journey. “What I want women in entertainment to know is that I don’t want them to be limited by just being on screen,” she shared. “There’s so much more in this industry. But more than that though, I want people to look at my journey and realize that I didn’t do things conventionally. I didn’t do things the same way everyone did.”
Her words reflect a mindset of reinvention and resilience, key themes of her career. Minnie’s journey is one of breaking barriers and staying true to herself, encouraging others to follow their own paths, even if they don’t fit the traditional mold.
Minnie is also the digital cover star for the February/March 2025 issue of Forbes Africa, further solidifying her place among the influential figures recognised by the platform.
