Wendy Shay told the Graphic Showbiz recently that if people had allowed her to prove herself and not put her in a box, they would have gotten to know who she really is.

According to Wendy Shay, all the negativity got to her at a point. “It drained me, I got worried because I never said anything like that. Again, I felt I was not welcomed to my home and it was a big blow to me.

“Back in Germany, I was fighting the issue of racism so I thought coming home would have been the better choice but I was welcomed with all these things and at a point, I asked myself why me. I just didn’t get it, everything I do, people had issues with it.

“I used to ask myself that if I was not welcome home then where else will I be because I love my country. Then at a point I told myself, I will stay and fight till the end because I don’t have anywhere to go,” she revealed.

The situation, according to Wendy Shay, has strengthened her. “I thank God for the people around me, my mom, my pastor, Bullet who has been an artiste before so he understands these things and thanks to myself, I have developed thick skin over time so it does not really get to me again. I have created some kind of shield around me,” she stated.
