Feeling sure that Hollywood and America had little to offer a dark skinned African woman, Kola Boof headed for Cairo, Egypt in 1994. Her father had that heritage. For some time she had several serious relationships going at the same time as she searched for love. She was young and beautiful and had already experienced being a kept woman. But she wanted to make it on her own. She became suicidal.
Once again she was kept by a man but this one wasn't like the man who she had been kept by in America for five years. She lived in luxury, but one day she returned to the penthouse where she had been living to find a letter saying that her man was ending their agreement and that she would
have to vacate so that a new mistress could move in. Perhaps to soften this blow, the man referred her to a friend who was casting a film in Morocco. It was a Biblical film... He left her a plane ticket and several thousand dollars. She got the hint.
