Adepero Oduye Talks Nigerian Roots, being told to get a Nose Job & Gay Rights

Nigerian-American actress Adepero Oduye who starred alongside Chiwetel Ejiofor in Steve McQueen‘s 12 Years a Slave is opening up about a lot of things.

Iyalode Productions presents Indigo Tongues, an interview series with trailblazers from Africa and the diaspora.

For its “Women in Media” series, Adepero speaks on her Nigerian roots, gay rights – she starred as a lesbian in Pariah, being told to get a nose job earlier in her career, taking a huge risk by leaving pre-med for an acting and family.
