Shatta Michy further opined that she has a chunk of talent and have decided to put them to test this year which she has “starting working on”.

Explaining why she added acting to her career, Shatta Michy said she isn’t in the movie industry for fame or to enrich herself but to learn and contribute to the building of the deteriorating industry.

“I’m acting because I want to learn, I want to see how the movies are made, and I wanna see the mistakes our filmmakers are making... Funny enough I have a movie production company. I’m just being the errand girl to learn the trade, learn the rules of the movie industry so I can build mine up,” she stated.
