My family is from Nigeria, and my full name is Uzoamaka, which means 'The road is good.'

I loved 'Ghana Must Go' by Taiye Selasi. It's about a first-generation African family living in America that has to return home to Nigeria when their estranged father passes away.

I come from Nigeria, and we live by the idea that it takes a village. So my entire team. I live by my team: my friends, my neighbors, my teachers - they're the people who taught me how to be a free actor.

I think it's always a good idea to dress as someone you like, as long as it's done in good taste. That's the key.

In performance, you don't always feel that sort of family bond right off the top. It sort of develops and grows over time.

My family is more a sports family, and I figure skated for a very long time, so movement and how I relate to movement is very integral to my process.
