"What a man can do, a woman can do better" - Tao talks about surviving in a male-dominated skit industry
We also asked Taaooma, how she's been able to stay relevant in the skit-making industry for so long, consistently retaining the position as the most-watched and high-earning female content creator in a male-dominated industry. She had this to say:
"First, I would say what a man can do, a woman can do better. I know the skit industry is a male-dominated space or should say continent on its own. But I do my best to make sure that I give other people that also want to stand up or come up with the same opportunity and let them know that they can also do it, no matter their gender. And they don't have to get dirty."
"My favourite food is Amala" - Taaooma reveals her favourite indigenous dish
"My favourite food is Amala, but I also like Eba. I don't like Ewedu, so I love taking my Amala with Gbegiri."
I love to wear anything that makes me feel comfortable, Maryam said
We also touched on how she loves to look and her general fashion sense. Taaooma noted that on average, she loves to wear something that would make her feel comfortable and not feel the need to be conscious of what other people would think of her.
"I love throwing on a shirt dress. I love to wear anything that makes me feel comfortable, something that won't give me a headache, or make me cringe. Because I am the type of person that can sit down in one place for a long time, I also don't know how to walk in a classy way. So, I love to wear things that when I walk or sit down anyhow people notice that it is inappropriate."
Taaooma also explained during the chat how she comes up with most of her content and where she gets her inspiration from most times.
"Everyday Life, I watch everybody, It could be words, it could be actions it could be anything. So, literally, I pay attention to everybody and bring a story from whatever they do."
