Nollywood actress and newly appointed Actors Guild of Nigeria’s Special Adviser on Gender Equality, Okechukwu Chidinma Tracy aka Tracy Edwin, has vowed to never again sacrifice her acting career in a bid to please any man.
Tracy Edwin told Saturday Sun: “I can’t go naked in movies, no matter the offer. But I am okay with wearing just pants and bra. Aside that, I can play any role even if it involves deep kissing. Maybe, when I get married, I might stop the kissing and romance scenes. That will be after discussing with my husband. But I can never quit my acting career for any man again. It’s my passion, except unless I am ready to let go. I had done it before and ended up depressed. I left Nollywood for six years because of a relationship. My father is late and my sister, who was training me in school, wanted me to get involved with a man. They didn’t want me to pursue a career in Nollywood.”
In a related development, Tracy Edwin also revealed that she has never been sexually harassed by any of her colleagues in Nollywood.
“I never fell victim because I wasn’t desperate. Even when they called me for jobs then, I wasn’t always available. When I started acting in 2019, I used to be a very sexy small girl; I had all the features producers needed but I didn’t take Nollywood serious. I had people around me who were assisting me get all things right. Because of family and relationship with my boyfriend, I left the industry. I tried to cope for six years without acting, it was impossible, so I returned,” she stated.
