Grace Zemaye Egbagbe has for long been a hot favourite among the paparazzi. Her sense of style is coveted by many. It is not surprising then that very little is said about her other interests which include a penchant for self development. As she puts it, “You’ve got to always update yourself with knowledge.” A
mother of two, Grace is so devoted to her children who have in turn rewarded her by being the best they can be. The bond that exists among them is more than filial, it is divine. Fresh into retirement and just back from a well-deserved time-out with her family in the United States of America, former NTA marketing director, Grace Egbagbe looks like she just stepped out of a five star SPA. She exudes more confidence and charm than she ever did. You could say she was in a state of grace by her calm and unharried demeanour. She is obviously happy to be back to her tastefully furnished home in Lekki. Like her personality, her home spells affluence and uncluttered sophistication, which is not surprising considering Grace’s long time romance with interior decoration, which she also recently bagged a certificate in, during her last sojourn to the US. Our December Cover Girl talks to Genevieve about what she has been up to since she left these
shores over a year ago.
