How Being So Young on 'The Johnsons' Is Affecting Me These Days - Susan Pwajok

Nollywood actress Susan Pwajok is till today still best known for appearing on the hit Africa Magic series, The Johnsons, a show she started acting on at the very young age of just around 11 years old. Susan Pwajok has since left The Johnsons, and continued her acting career starring in other productions like Cover Up, Night Raid, Stopping Chloe, Steel Bling, Keeping Lucy, and MTV's Shuga. She also hosts her own podcast called Surviving Lagos, and has other business ventures.

Still, as I said, many people still know Susan Pwajok only as Blessing from 'The Johnsons' and in a new interview with The Will Downtown, she talks about how because she was so young on that show, it affects how people see her till this day. Here's what Susan Pwajok had to say.

Speaking about how being so young on 'The Johnsons' is affecting her these days, Susan Pwajok opened up during the interview saying:

SUSAN PWAJOK: People underestimating me because I’m young is one of my major difficulties. Despite only being 20 years old, I come across people who underestimate my potential and dissuade me from starting businesses.

People frequently doubt my long-term objectives and are reluctant to acknowledge that I have developed beyond my prior job on The Johnsons. They have a hard time understanding how I went from being a kid performer to an adult. These age-related biases and people’s unwillingness to acknowledge my development are significant obstacles for me.

Then she was asked "How do you deal with criticism and negative feedback and what strategies do you use to maintain your mental health and well-being?" to which she responded:

SUSAN PWAJOK: I don’t, and when people ask me this question, they ask, “What do you mean you don’t?” I do not. For me, if you are not my friend, family or someone close to me, anything you say about me is your cup of tea. Everyone is entitled to their freedom of speech, but as long as you are not somebody I dearly care for, I don’t see what you will say to make me feel bad.
