In an interview with Standard Style, Geraldine said art allows her to express herself at the same time showcasing her talent.

“I hope to leave a legacy that aims to show that although the girl child is sometimes looked down upon, they are able to achieve greatness and surpass the standards that some part of the society think they are not able to do,” she said.
