Beverly Afaglo is undoubtedly busy as a mother of two, juggling a successful acting career with her commercial endeavors, including her culinary business, Traffic Shawarma.
Although her family benefits monetarily from her work success, she acknowledges that her children bear the brunt of her hectic schedule.
The Single Six actress talked about the difficulties she faces balancing her career, motherhood, and the food industry in an interview with Graphic Showbiz. She also disclosed how her busy schedule is affecting her relationship with her two daughters, who she shares with Praye Honeho of the band Praye, and who are feeling the loss of quality time with their mother.
“I have very tight schedules as an actress and entrepreneur and I must say that sometimes, it affects my children because I don’t get to spend as much time with them as I should. They miss out on quality time and attention from me.
“I always have this event to attend or an interview somewhere because I’m a public figure. In addition to that, I’m running a business too, which takes my time.
“I love my children so much and would love to spend lots of mummy time with them, which is not happening often and I always feel guilty about that,” she stated.
Beverly’s famous position frequently gets in the way of her attempts to spend quality time with her kids, making it difficult to spend quiet, private family time.
“Also, my children don’t like the cameras, so when we go out and people recognise me and want to take pictures with all of us, they don’t like it,” she noted.
Beverly presented TV3’s Music Music and later Metro TV’s Beauty & Style before beginning her professional career.

After making her film debut in Venus Film’s The Return of Beyonce, she went on to appear in more films such as King’s Bride, Crime to Christ, Playboy, Big Girls Club, Single Six, and Total Exchange.
With a long history in the film business, Beverly is now embracing the creation of content on YouTube. She is following in the footsteps of her contemporaries, who are using the platform’s enormous reach to exhibit their creativity, take charge of their careers, and establish a direct connection with their audience.
“YouTube is the way to go, Nigerians started using it a long time ago, and today it’s paying off. We can all toe that line and hopefully, in the future, it’ll pick up, and we’ll start making waves on YouTube as well,” she added.
She expressed her need for increased government recognition and support for the creative industry during this politically charged time.
“I pray and hope the next government would be more involved and concerned about our industry and support us financially just like they do with sports,” she said.
