Lala travelled to the festival in Paris to premiere her new short film.

Thanks to Travelstart, all I had to worry about was packing my bags and giving a stellar appearance in the French capital.”
A talented actress, Lala has performed in stage and film productions worldwide and is a true advocate of performing arts in Nigeria. “FINE”, an Odenike film and produced by Lala, touches on the subject of mental health and how people might be dying inside but seem fine on the outside.
