EYES ON THE MARK

It's that time of the year again, when a lot of people bow to the pressure that comes with being single at a time as this.

   When I started to appear on TV, I didn’t see it as a big deal. Not until friends and families would call and say they watched my programme or a movie i featured in.                                                        - Semirah Balogun Myra Balogun also known as Queen Myra is an Actor,TV Presenter,Content developer/Producer and a creative writer.
