New and upcoming actress stresses her ambition to be known world wide.

Though new in Nollywood, she is now a producer with her debut movie in the making
Who is Monalisa Omorodion?
I was born in London on the 27th of April, 1990. I was in Corona Primary School, Victoria Island, Atlantic Hall Secondary School and then, the University of Lagos, where I studied Economics. I’m the fifth in a family of six— four girls and two boys.   As a child, I was loved and pampered. My father taught us the value of service. I worked as my father’s personal assistant and receptionist instead of being a director! I learnt from that and I’m glad he made me go through all that. Now, I enjoy the privileges of being a responsible young adult.
Journey into Nollywood
It has always been my dream to act. Growing up, I wanted to be an actor but my parents were worried and disagreed with me on that. I was called the ‘drama queen’ right from primary school. I had an internship with Chico Ejiro and was behind the scenes but I felt incomplete and I realised I belonged in front of the camera.
When the time was right, with the help of my sisters, I was able to convince them. Right now, I have my family’s support and I am debuting with my own film.
Relationship with other acts
I don’t get intimidated by any big names in the industry, rather I admire them. When I know I’m working with a well-known actor in a movie, it motivates me to be the best I can be on set. This means I will live and breathe that script.
