MARIA OKANRENDE as Foye
What lessons are to be learnt from Foye, the character you play in Shuga?
I think Foye found it hard initially to deal with the ‘real world’. I feel that she was wrapped up in a protective bubble that consisted of home and student life. She sort of believed that she’d become a great DJ and live happily ever after. However, the gritty truth is that we must all deal with the consequences of our own and even others’ actions. As Foye matures throughout the series, you will realise that although we encounter new challenges in life, we can all still live happy, healthy lives. Just make sure you get tested regularly!
