Reality TV show star and actress, Lilian Afegbai has averred that every woman is sexy regardless of her size. Afegbai who recently started a lingerie business added that women don’t need a man to feel sexy.
In her words: “I have always had a thing for being sexy even underneath one’s clothes. I sleep with nice lingerie at night. People have the mindset that one has to have a man to be sexy. I am a huge fan of believing in one’s sensuality. My lingerie business is helping African women understand that they can be beautiful and sexy underneath their clothes. You don’t have to wear a shaggy bra to your man’s house or to wherever you are going. My love for lingerie made me start the business. Every woman is sexy regardless of her size. You just need to know how to channel your sexiness, she told Punch.
Asked about how her journey into showbiz began, the svelte former dancer said: “My journey into the entertainment industry wasn’t really easy. Apparently, when I participated in Big Brother Africa, it gave me a huge platform but upon coming out of the house, I had to struggle to be seen as an entrepreneur. I remembered a time when I was depressed because I felt I was stagnant and I was finding it hard to do better. But luckily for me, I had the right people around me to tell me the truth, and they encouraged me on how to go about it. So far, I cannot help but be thankful for the platforms, my fans, and family for the huge love and support I have got.”
On the kinds of roles she desires to play, she said, “I look forward to playing the role of a gangster in a movie, jumping from one tall building to the other. However, I have yet to get that kind of role.”
