THUSO MBEDU
Actor
Born in Pietermaritzburg, KZN, Thuso Mbedu is known for her incredible work in local shows such as Scandal! and Is Thunzi, and US series The Underground Railroad. She has quickly solidified her place as someone who is dedicated to telling powerful African stories and embodying fierce female characters who push boundaries and bring injustices to light on screen. Interestingly, she aspired to be a doctor, but it was the idea of pursuing drama that truly captured her heart.
Her most recent role as Nawi - a young woman who rejects the confines of long-standing traditions and the idea of an arranged marriage - in The Woman King (alongside Viola Davis) has caught the eye of critics around the world. The award-winning, Emmy-nominated star has proven that she's willing to use her voice as a weapon, and push her body with physical training and martial arts movements. "I knew that this was something I would want to do for the rest of my life because I saw the opportunity to use drama and performance as tools to change and fuel people," she says. "I haven't looked back since."
Thuso is flying the SA flag high as a world-class performer determined to hone her craft and, hopefully, become an anime character too someday.

JUST say NO
Let's admit it - some of us are big people-pleasers. We don't want to let anyone down, and we feel like saying 'no' to a favour, an invite, a request or a suggestion is rude. The truth is, we can say no, and there are polite ways to do it.
