Nollywood actress Toyosi Adesanya has urged theatre practitioners to be mindful of their words and conduct, stressing the importance of professionalism in the entertainment industry.
The actress shared the message on social media, where she reflected on the role of theatre practitioners and the need to protect the integrity of their craft.
Commending professionals across the entertainment industry for their contributions, Toyosi noted that the rise of social media has brought significant changes, making it increasingly important for practitioners to exercise caution in their public statements and actions.
She also encouraged them to remain committed to their craft, which she believes can create opportunities and bring positive outcomes despite the challenges they may encounter.
Expressing her pride in being a theatre practitioner, the actress described the profession as one that creates wisdom. She also challenged her colleagues to reflect on their responsibilities and the values associated with their work.
In her words:
“If we are cautious of our utterances if we are professionals that most of us think we are. The rudiments we have as theatre practitioners, whether formal or informal, whether academic or total theatre, I commend all practitioners in the entertainment world at large. It takes me back to many years of encouraging ourselves that our crafts will pave the way for us, no matter the odds. Given what this social media era has caused, let’s keep guiding the crafts that pave the way and bring good to our folds. I am proud to be a theatre practitioner because we create wisdom. What of you?”
