“This change feels like coming home, honoring my roots, and embracing every step of my path,” she said.
Additionally, the comedian made it clear that she is super grateful to all the fans who have supported her all along.
“From now on, I’ll be known as [Vanessa Akinyi]. I’m excited to take this step forward with all of you, knowing that my journey is also part of your story. Thank you for supporting me through every change and chapter of this thing called life. With all my love and gratitude.
