NOLLYWOOD IN TEXAS.

So like play like some people stepped out years ago and now have the bulls by the horn. 

Yes, those in Nollywood. Producers, actors, actresses, writers, costumiers, prop managers, promoters...

They are many in the industry and have proven that boundaries can be taken off. Don't blame them when  you hear them all over the place. Awards have taken center stage in the world and what have you? they are the different ways we all can keep it moving on. 

GIAMA AWARDS are the latest. The much anticipated GIAMA Awards took place at the Morris Cultural Centre, in the Houston Baptist University, in Houston, Texas and below is a picture of my favourite boundless people in Texas.

From far right is my first boss, Bola Aduwo! i learnt these ropes from her. She is an embodiment of boundless living. That smile is contagipous, same way her proffessional prowess is. I stole dis pix from her. she is the one behind www.nollywood.com. Am sure y'all know the rest...lol...
