Beverly naya
Beverly Naya (born Beverly Ifunaya Bassey on April 17, 1989) is a Nigerian actress of British origin and the only child of Nigerian parents. Beverly began acting at the age of 17 while studying philosophy, psychology, and sociology at Brunel University. At Roehampton University, she also studied scriptwriting and filmmaking. Naya was named the “fastest rising actress” at the City People Entertainment Awards in Nigeria in 2011. Beverly Naya made her television series debut in 2013 on Passport, a BET TV show filmed entirely in Atlanta, Georgia. Naya landed a supporting role as the feisty and seductive Yaya Gardia on M-number Net’s one soap, Tinsel, not long after finishing the series.
People love Beverly Naya for different reasons. For me, it has to be her accent and the way she talks. There is something fascinating about the way words come out of her mouth. The second reason has to be her skin. I love the confidence that comes with her in her brown skin. Though she’s not the reason I started using Nivea cream, she’s one of the reasons I won’t stop. Her hair is the third thing. She has really beautiful hair. The list could go on and this has brought me to a question: were April’s born a special breed of human or were they carefully selected? Maybe you should share your answer in the comment section.
