Nollywood actress, Genevieve Nnaji, discussed feminism with African scholars at the London School of Economics Africa Summit.
The 39-year-old movie veteran spoke on the topic at the academic institution on Sunday.
“My own feminism is just human rights. I’m a woman who has rights to her own choices, I can do whatever I want whenever I want.
“It’s just that simple if I were a man it would be the same thing. At the end of the day I was born alone, I’m going to die alone, I breathe alone. So I definitely have the right to how I want to live my life,” she said.
She also shared a picture from the event via Instagram.
“Always an honor to connect with tomorrow’s leaders. #lseafrica19 ❤️🌍,” she wrote.
Genevieve released Lionheart, in 2018 to critical acclaim.
It was her directorial debut.
The movie premiered at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival in September.
It was acquired less than 24 hours after its premiere by movie for rent service provider, Netflix.
The movie starred Nollywood veterans such as Pete Edochie, Onyeka Onwenu, Nkem Owoh among others.
