Stephanie Okereke Linus
My name is Stephanie Onyekachi Okereke Linus and I was born on 2 October 1982 in Ngor Okpala, Imo State. I grew up in Delta State, studied English and Literary Studies at the University of Calabar, and later trained at the New York Film Academy to deepen my craft in storytelling.
Acting came to me as a gift when I was still a teenager, and since then I have been blessed to appear in over 90 films while also writing, producing, and directing stories that touch hearts and inspire change.
In 2012, I married Linus Idahosa in Paris, and together we are raising our two wonderful sons, Maxwell born in 2015 and his younger brother born in 2022, building a family grounded in love, faith, and gratitude.
Life has tested me, blessed me, and shaped me, and through it all I remain thankful for every moment and every person who has walked this journey with me.
