The actress, who was born in Benin City, Nigeria, before moving to Canada at 16 said, “Yeah. It absolutely happens. And it happens from your shade too, you know. So, that’s why it’s even more of a weird thing. I always feel that those who get bullied, don’t get bullied by outsiders. It’s from within. Because if somebody else says it, you may not care but if somebody who is around you, who you are always kinda seeing every other day says it, it hurts more.”

She continued, “This was when I was a teenager in Canada. The positive aspect of moving [back] to Nigeria, was seeing more individuals who look just like me.”

Linda further stated that relocating to Nigeria made her appreciate herself more.
