Popular actress Biola Adebayo recently opened up about the challenges she faced at the beginning of her career during an appearance on “Nollywood on Radio.” 

Adebayo shared that she lost acting roles because she refused to date certain influential people in the industry. 

She also recalled being pressured to lighten her skin, with someone suggesting she “tone it up a little” to advance her career.

Adebayo also discussed her podcast, “Talk To B,” which she started because of her natural ability to connect with people. 

She explained: “For some reason, people are drawn to me and trust me with their secrets—even those I am not close to. I began to think about how I could impact people’s lives beyond just presenting and decided to create a platform where I could connect with and support ordinary people.” 

The impact of her podcast has been significant, transforming many lives in a short time. 

Adebayo revealed that over N10 million has been raised for various causes, including over 35 million naira for individuals needing accommodations. 

The podcast has also helped people facing marital challenges, provided urgent assistance, and supported those in need of therapy or counseling. 

Adebayo emphasised: “Talk To B” has become a source of hope for those without other places to turn, especially victims of abuse and those facing life’s most challenging situations.
