From getting raped at age 10 to becoming an award-winning filmmaker || Ifan Michael shares his powerful story on #WithChude

Abandoned by his parents. Growing up in a brothel and getting raped at the age of 10. Award-winning filmmaker, Ifan Ifeanyi Michael recounts his troubled childhood and his journey to stardom on this week’s episode of #WithChude. 

Speaking about what kept him going during the difficult years, Ifan said, “I knew I was a star; I knew I had something in me that was different from what everyone else had. I knew I was talented and that’s what kept me going.”

He learnt very early on to make the best of the opportunities he came by. Channeling everything that happened to him into being better. 

When asked about getting justice, Ifan said, “Anywhere this person is, I am sure he will never forget this face. Hearing me say these things should give them the wisdom to adjust if they’re still living that same life. But for me, I have moved on. I’ve been able to chase a better career for myself, and to build a life.”
