when women are united.
Bankole, who recently delivered a critically acclaimed performance as the legendary activist Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, emphasises the enduring power of collective action and the power in women united. “Playing Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti was a powerful experience, not just for portraying an incredible woman, but for witnessing the strength that comes from women uniting. Funmilayo understood this deeply.
The road to complete female unity might be long, but ‘Funmilayo and Her Women’ reminds us of the incredible progress possible when women stand together as one regardless of age, differences, pedigree or social standing. Imagine the world we could create if we truly amplified each other’s voices, shared resources, and fought for equality as one. That’s a future worth striving for, and Funmilayo’s legacy serves as a powerful reminder and motivator to keep moving forward towards that.
Asked about her experience acting alongside other talented actresses like Joke Silva, she said, “it was remarkable playing Funmilayo Ransome Kuti alongside an icon such as Aunty Joke Silva. I have always admired her.
Funmilayo’s leadership in the Abeokuta Women’s Union has been a profound inspiration, her legacy adds to fuel my passion to continue advocating for positive change in our country and amplifying the strength found in our unity.”
