Fast-rising Nollywood actress Damipe Adekoya has shared a humorous look into her childhood, recalling how her clergyman father held onto a grand, yet completely unrealistic, dream of her becoming a world-famous tennis player like Serena Williams.
The actress explained that aside from wanting her to study medicine and become a neurosurgeon, her father was oddly convinced she had a future in sports. He kept tennis rackets and balls at home, repeatedly calling her “the next Serena Williams” in hopes that she would naturally gravitate toward the game.
However, Damipe noted the irony in his strategy, pointing out that despite his lofty dreams for her athletic career, he never actually enrolled her in any training or took her to a tennis court. See More/Details
