ReplyDeleteIT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO HAVE YOUR OWN APPRECIATED AND RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR HARD WORK AND DECICATION. SUCESS DONT COME BY WHO'S THE MOST HANDSOME OR BY CONNECTIONS. I BELIEVE VAN HAS MADE A NAME FOR HIMSELF THROUGH HARD WORK AND OF COURSE SUPPORT FROM MENTORS AND HIS LOVELY FAMILY. I LIVE IN CANADA, AND IT'S ALWAYS A TREAT HAVING AN AFRICAN MOVIES PLAYING IN MY LIVING ROOM. I DO LOOK FORWARD TO SEE WHAT VAN BRINGS TO THE SET AND YEAH, HE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. I'M PROUD OF YOU AND KEEP PRESSING ON COZ THE SUN HAS NOT EVEN BEGIN TO SHINE ON YOU. DOORS WILL OPEN AND I'M POSITIVE YOU WILL TAKE AFRICA TO THE NEXT LEVEL IN ENTERTAINMENT. LOL Edwinna
