Renowned Nigerian dancer, Kafayat Oluwatoyin Shafau, popularly known as Kaffy, has revealed that she started dancing to improve her mental health.
Kaffy, during an interview on Channels TV, talked about her upbringing, saying that her parents’ divorce had a negative impact on her, leading her to turn to dancing as a way to survive.
In her words:
“Before I even thought of dancing as a profession, I always saw it as something to help me with my mental health.
“And growing up in that average Nigerian household, you have divorced parenting. You are trying to navigate through life as a young teenager. Dancing was the art form in which I found solace. I used it as an escape to somewhere I could become something.
And when I related with others in the social environment, I found out that people needed some escape. I started exploring that at the national stadium until I found the entertainment space.”
