2020 saw her with a major role playing Officer Funmi in the BAFTA and Emmy-winning HBO/BBC drama series ‘I May Destroy You’, created, directed by and starring Michaela Coel as a young writer who seeks to rebuild her life after being raped. In the same year she played Meg in the BBC/Netflix adaptation of ‘Dracula’, from ‘Sherlock’ creators Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat.

She has a great love for theatre, with highlights that include playing Charmian in the RSC’s 2013 production of ‘Antony and Cleopatra’, at The Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon as well as the subsequent US tour in 2014. Later that year she played Tituba in the sold-out 5-star production of The Crucible at the Old Vic, which was streamed to cinemas throughout the UK and internationally.
