Nollywood actress, Ufuoma McDermott has penned a touching message to her colleague, Rita Dominic who is about to get married.

Ufuoma, alongside other celebrities, graced Rita’s bridal shower last weekend.

In a post on her official Instagram page, the mother of two revealed how the bride-to-be helped her career in numerous ways.

According to her, while she was still struggling to find her feet in the industry, Rita helped establish her by reaching out, embracing and covering her. Adding that Rita has been her light, and that light lit her path.

She wrote, “So many people know of your artistic prowess… others know of your beauty and drop-dead fashion sense.

I smile because I’m one of the ones who have experienced you and your good heart. Ah! Sis, you strong my leg for this industry sha. I sometimes sit back and wonder why you reached out… why you embraced and covered me like you did. I was literally a JJC 😩. I feel like you saw the small insecure me reclining in the face of all the big stars.

You made me know it was ok to be a bookworm… taught me to read other materials than just novels (Infact you be the first young person wey I see dey read newspaper 😮 Isn’t that for old people? 🙈)

The way I’d stroll majestically to your car for a ride home, people go think say I join esusu to buy you the car.

You’ve always been a light. You chose to be. And that light lit a path for me.

I love and celebrate you always ❤️

#YouAreWorthCelebrating”.
