Abraham (formerly known as Toyin Aimakhu) is one actress who is never
afraid to speak her mind on issues regarding her wellbeing.
Known also for her ‘vigorous’ style of acting, very few people know that Toyin once struggled with depression and drug use.

to find solace in drugs when things were spiraling out of control for
her.

“Depression
came as a result of the negativities around me at the time. Like I said
in that interview, I didn’t plan for a broken marriage and after the
marriage ended, I was down and I didn’t give myself enough time to heal
before jumping into another relationship.
I lost touch with things that used to
work for me, things were just spiraling out of control, it felt like I
was no longer in control of my life and so when a friend introduced me
to drugs, I embraced it and tried to find solace with it.
It
was like an awakening. I realised I deserve more and that I needed to
keep looking at the bigger picture. So, I sought for help, I changed my
team and the people around me. I changed some of my friends too and here
I am today. All in all, I thank God for the grace and for a new me," she told Guardian.
Going further, Toyin also revealed that she considers her breasts to be her best physical feature.
