The actress took to Twitter to talk about her work in the entertainment industry from start to date. First, she spoke about how much work goes into every character she portrays on screen. She said that every decision she makes about a character, from their language to their body characteristics, has been deliberate. Her intention is to start some conversations that she deems important, or to push a theme the show is hinged on, and so far, it has worked out exactly like that.

She went on to emphasize that she has always brought the same level of commitment and intentionality to all her jobs, even as a presenter. She is therefore not fazed about whether she is liked or not, as she is assured of her hard work, and has some awards and nominations to prove it.

Even when I was Presenting I worked Dammmn hard behind the Scenes….Love me or hate Me but no one will ever Steal the Amount of Time ,Energy and Dedication I have Committed to my Craft. That is why I’m uber Proud of my 9SAFTA noms,3SAFTAwins& International Emmy Nomination

Brenda also defended her character on The Queen, NomaPrincess. When she joined the cast of the show, it was met with a lot of excitement from fans who loved her in other shows. But the role went south fast, with fans turning on her and demanding that she should leave.

She said that even that was a conscious decision. She intended for NomaPrincess to spark controversy, and seeing how much she is disliked simply confirms to her that she succeeded at her mission.

Hence I am not Surprised as to how Some React to the”NomaPrincess” Character . Personally I’m uber Proud that she gets some Audience Members so Irrate. Once again I’m delivering a Character that Moves,Sparks Commentry and Evokes Emotion.After All what’s the Point of Creating Art

But she came out to defend Connie Ferguson, saying the film mogul had always treated her with nothing but kindness and respect, and that her leaving the show had nothing to do with money disputes as it was being made to seem.

This was only shortly before the show was announced to have been cancelled altogether, after a 7 year run. The show will run for one final season, starting in July 2022, and ending on 13th January 2023.
