Nollywood actress, Sandra Okunzuwa, was star-struck after meeting her senior colleague, Genevieve Nnaji.
News360 Info reports that the movie star posted on her Instagram page on Thursday that she could barely express herself when she met Genevieve for the first time.
Sandra said the veteran actress had been a monumental source of inspiration to me while she was growing up.
According to her, Genevieve commended her work in the film industry, stressing she was proud of her, and the words felt like a hug in her soul.
She wrote, “Over the weekend, I experienced a moment I’ve dreamed of my entire life I met the Queen, Genevieve Nnaji @genevievennaji For the first time ever, I froze. Words failed me as I stood before someone who has been a monumental source of inspiration to me. Growing up, I would often imagine this moment meeting her, perhaps even working with her someday.
When I finally saw her, she was everything I hoped for and more: warm, gracious, and truly lovely. I nervously shared my recent milestone, Something Like Gold, and her response left me speechless. She looked at me with genuine pride and said, “I’m proud of you.” Those words felt like a hug for my soul.
2025, you’re already unforgettable. This moment is a sign that this year holds so much promise. Standing before one of the most incredible women I’ve admired for years, I was overwhelmed with gratitude and nervous excitement. I had so much to say, but my emotions got the best of me. And then, she said something I’ll never forget: “It’s Black Girl Magic.
That meant everything to me. Genevieve, I promise to keep making you proud. From the depths of my heart, I love and appreciate you more than words can express. Thank you for reminding me that dreams really do come true.
