Nigerian dancer Kaffy Shafau is all about giving props where it’s due. At a recent IWD event, she shared snaps with Funke Akindele and Morayo Brown, calling them “remarkable women”
About Funke, she said:
“Funke is someone I hold with deep respect. Over the years, I have watched her continue to push boundaries in an industry that was once heavily male-dominated.
Through her work, her boldness, and her unwavering commitment to her craft, she has helped reshape the landscape of African storytelling and cinema distribution. She has proven time and time again that excellence has no ceiling breaking records, raising standards, and reminding the industry that authenticity and audacity can coexist.”
And for Morayo:
“Morayo Brown has remained a strong and steady voice in media and journalism. She has held her ground with grace and intelligence, creating space for meaningful conversations and perspectives that continue to shape public discourse.”
Watching them in conversation inspired Kaffy:
“Watching the fireside chat between these two women was inspiring, not just because of their achievements, but also because of the strength, resilience, and authenticity they both bring to their journeys. Giving these incredible women their flowers today. Well done, sisters.”
Even Ini Edo joined in the praise:
“My respect for them has increased. Their commitment, strategising, marketing, and overall game-playing are on a whole different level.”
