To celebrate the recognition, Abraham announced a personal donation to the charity.
On Instagram, she wrote:
“Honoured to receive the Golden Legends Honour Medal at this year’s @allstarscharity — awarded annually to individuals who continue to uplift and impact the lives of others positively.
To keep the spirit alive, I’m donating 5 bags of rice towards the cause. Together, we say #GameOnHungerOff. Grateful. Always an honour.”
At the premiere of her new film, Ginger, Abraham also spoke about her cultural background during an interview with TikToker Jarvis.
She explained that although she is from Auchi in Edo State, she cannot speak the Edo dialect because she was raised in a Yoruba environment and married a Yoruba man.
In her words:
“I can’t speak Edo. You know I was born and brought up in Yoruba land. And I married a Yoruba man. So I’m practically Yoruba. I can’t even speak Edo; not one bit. But there’s no Yoruba I can’t speak.”
