Rising content creator and actress, Njideka George who is known for her lifestyle and hilarious content on instagram has averred that her talent lies in creating what captivates people's interests.

"My talent lies in creating what captivates people's interests. I have a big personality. I mean when I talk, people listen.

"That has always been my gift. I started out with acting but that was taking too long to bring me to the limelight and I realized that I could still do something else while waiting for acting gigs. And content creating seemed like a perfect fit. It alswcased my acting skills while growing my social media pages and getting me the audience required. So, it was a win win".

On how she handles hate comments on social media, George said: "I get a lot of backlash, insults and criticism but I don't flinch. It doesn't even get to my skin. I respond to some, I block some but none of the insults gets under my skin or messes with my mental health. Infact, the bad comments makes me work harder. God took time to build me for this, I am exactly where I should be because God chose me. So, I'm not about to let any hate comment make me sad. I am Deka George. I am who I know I am. I am not small. God didn't create me to be intimidated, shrunk or put down. I stand tall. I know my worth and I know my purpose".
