Caroline Nollywood actress, Caroline Hutchings, popularly called Caroline Danjuma based on her past marriage, has narrated her experience as a divorcee and a mixed race.
She said she suffered stigmatisation and discrimination in spite of her educational status.
According to her, she has an MBA as well as a doctorate.
In an interview with ‘Arise TV’, she said: “As a mixed-race living in Nigeria, who was brought up by her grandmom, I faced a lot of racism. The colour of my skin and the texture of my hair were a big problem for me. I was bullied all through primary school to secondary school. So I had to learn how to defend myself.
“I also suffered racism at my workplace. I’m such a scholar. I have an MBA and MSA in international law. I have a lot of professional certificates from Lagos Business School from Unilag. I have a lot of certificates. I have a Doctorate as well. So when you speak and you’re a beautiful mixed-race woman, you tend to get bashed. In this society, I went through that. I also faced the stigmatisation of being a divorcee. I have built a thick skin for myself.”
