My Virginity Story; Rape & Depression
When I was in the Big Brother House emotions were raised when during a Truth or Dare game I said I’d not really had se-x.
People interpreted that as me claiming to be a Vir-gin.
The truth is in 2016 I was ra-ped by someone in the entertainment industry, before then I was a Virgin. This person also infected me with an STI… I was also threatened by this person and was very scared of social media’s bashing with the usual questions of “what was she wearing!” ” why did she go to his house ?”… so in all my sadness and depression I decided to tell the world what had happened to me using film as a medium.
I was inspired to write and produce my film – Tears of A Broken Vir-gin. I got a lot of help from social media – people volunteered to work for me free of charge even my director – Benny Atagame Alli
Though some parts of my film is fiction, the bulk of it was inspired by my story. The lead character’s name is Ada which is a short form of my name Adanne- popularly pronounced as Ennada.
Because of my sad experience I battled depression, developed trust issues and found it hard to connect with people especially men.
I wanted to tell my story and also pass a strong message to ra-pe victims and ra-pists…I hope I was able to do that with my film.
I intend to expand this into a feature length film. I hope everyone out there is inspired to stand up against ra-pe.
