Iconic Movie Roles:

In an era, where Cameroonian actresses refuse to play out-of-the-box roles; with even slight negative shades or loosing their beauty,  Laura went on to compromise her elegance and shave her hair to play ‘Mbango‘ in a Nkanya Nkwai directed movie, ‘Saving Mbango’. Not only did she play that role but she did it with elan.

Laura has no problem taking up challenging and unconventional roles. Since her debut in 2012, this dark skin actress has played multiple characters on screen such as a poor cancer victim, victim of child marriages, an arrogant boss lady, an educated fisherman’s wife etc and she has made it a priority to give it her A-game every time  … Making fans to love and relate to her even more deeply.

Scandal Free

Laura’s job comes first and she does everything to keep her job free of scandals and unnecessary attention. In an industry where scandals sell better than true talent, Laura has never found herself wanting.

In this era where friends turn foe overnight, she’s never hesitated putting forth her honest opinions and keep her circle small and professional. To her, the public is better off knowing more about her works than her personal mistakes.
