Stephanie Okereke in Hollywood!

Award-winning Nollywood star actress, Stephanie (Okereke) Linus, is making a Hollywood debut on the set of an American Western Movie called Boonville Redemption.

Stephanie plays the role of Doris, a lady from the second generation of slave trade in America whose parents came from Nigeria.

Doris is no longer a slave and she lives with her uncle in this community where people are not judged by their race or colour.

She is a strong compassionate woman who forms a bond with a young girl, Melinda, who grew up not knowing her father.

Doris plays the role of convincing her uncle to reveal the truth to this young girl about her father’s whereabouts. She also helps take care of Miss Mary, Melinda’s grandmother during her illness and shelters a young boy who had no place to stay.

Stephanie has since been sharing her excitement on social media, sharing pictures taken with cast members and revealing that “everyone was treated equally without racial barriers”.
