I’ve been putting one foot in front of the other. I have just been staying hungry like I haven’t achieved anything.

I love to push myself and also love challenges. I don’t want to be bored.

The pretty mum speaks more on what her career means to her:

I feel a great sense of purpose that God put me here for a reason and I’m glad that His light keeps shining through me.

I’m in a profession that one cannot retire from. Acting is what I was put on earth to do— that’s my first port of call and purpose.

God created all of us with a purpose which we must honour and take seriously.

Dakore also said that as beneficial as social media is to an entertainer’s career, it could also be overwhelming.

Social media is overwhelming but I take it one day at a time and I ask my brother for tips at times to know what’s trending.

One has to be thirsty (for knowledge) to stay relevant by using social media positively because there is a lot of negativity there.
