Ebony beauty Yoruba actress, Adekemi Taofeek has expressed reasons she would not be jumping on the bandwagon train of actresses who bleach their skin all in the name of being more camera-friendly in their line of duty.

To the Lagos State University graduate of Business Administration, what stands her out is her personality, background and complexion.

“ My love for this my skin is something that is beyond words and it is the reason I would always stand out among others” she quipped when asked why she has not bleached her skin like many of her colleagues in the industry.

“Those who bleach their skin simply don’t have the mind of their own. I cannot do something just because others are doing it. To me, I know and believe being dark among many light-skinned ladies won’t limit my success. All I hear is fair people are more camera-friendly but trust me, I have gone this far because of my complexion. Besides, acting is not about the colour of your skin, it is about what you can offer. Being dark-skinned is more friendly and I also get complement from people everyday” she said.

Kemi has featured in notable Yoruba films like Adefarati, Agilinti, Gbajue, Ibaje, to mention just a few. She has also produced her own movie ‘Tibi Tire’.
