ReplySuch an amazing interview
ReplyIts funny how everytime I see Akin all I can think of is “That’s voice behind Y fm”
ReplyKhaya Motene
ReplyThat’s so authentic
ReplyImagine if someone decided to make a movie of him later on in life. I mean I definitely didn’t know that his grandparents were Barbadian immigrants. I will say my mom loves Barbados she always brags about how she’s a queen’s girl she attended Queens college
ReplyI like how he described it as like a family meeting whenever they would gather to talk about the movie that’s beautiful
