“If Mercy Johnson didn’t give me that chance, you might never have known my name.”
I was new, struggling, and almost gave up on acting. I had talent, but no one was looking my way — until Mercy Johnson saw me.
She didn’t just talk; she gave me a role that changed my whole story. She believed in me when I had nothing but hope.
Today, people call me a star. But I know where it started. I will always respect her for that one chance that opened many doors.”
