“I don’t have a big circle of friends,”
“I have a lot of colleagues and acquaintances, but friends who truly know me are not as many.”
The actress also shared her views on the act of helping others, advising her audience to refrain from expecting anything in return. The dark-skinned film star remarked:
“When you are helping people, never think of what you are going to get in return. As human beings, we have a bit of entitlement when it comes to helping people. ‘Oh, I gave this person something.’ If you are going to do it with the expectation of something in return, I don’t think that is kindness.”
Bolaji Ogunmola further highlighted the necessity of self-advocacy, particularly in the face of negativity and injustice. She encouraged individuals to assert themselves when necessary. Bolaji Ogunmola stated:
“When people are carrying negativity about you that is untrue, please stand up for yourself,”
“I used to say God will judge, karma will meet somebody somewhere. God will fight my battle. He does fight my battles. Speak up for yourself, especially in the face of injustice.”
