Actor and media personality Tobi Bakre has spoken out against gender discrimination in the entertainment industry, insisting that women play a vital role in shaping the sector.
Speaking on the Mentality podcast hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Bakre said anyone who refuses to work with women is not ready for real professional growth.
He explained that his career has been positively influenced by collaborations with women, noting that he has worked with more female professionals than male colleagues.
According to him, gender is not a factor in how he approaches work, as his focus remains on creativity and productivity.
Prompt News reports Bakre added that many of the women he has worked with share the same work ethic and commitment, making collaboration seamless and ego-free.
He said: “If you don’t want to work with a woman, I don’t believe you’re ready to grow in life. Women are so powerful. Thank God for women. In my industry particularly, I have worked with women and I’ve worked more with women. I don’t see gender.
“For me, work is work because I came into the industry with the thirst to get stuff done. Let’s get the work done. Let’s shoot the shots. Let’s create. If I want to jump, how high can I jump?. A lot of the women I worked with welcomed that mentality with open arms. There was no ego,” he stated.
