New Faces Making Waves in Nollywood-America (Female category)

Whew!!! Been a minute I wrote about people in movies on this blog, especially new faces (You know how much I love having them here). It's been few weeks into the compulsory but necessary lockdown, due to COVID-19. But your girl finally sat down to watch movies on YouTube while staying safe. I saw some beautiful and talented faces in some of the Nollywood-America movies that I watched and decided to introduce them to you all. Although some of them have been in the acting sphere for a while; let's just say... we are re-introducing the ones in that category. I present to you the list in no particular order. *Drum roll*
