Tiwa Savage said the project was a complete labor of love that has been her dream for several years. 

She added that performing as Aisha allowed her to be totally vulnerable and pushed to express herself in a way that she has never done before. 

Tiwa Savage further stated that, ā€œIt was an honor to share my debut as an actress in a leading role with Meji whilst filming on the African continent with a cast and crew I have immense admiration and respect for, I was excited for the world to see the film.ā€ 

According to waterandgarrifilm, “Water and Garri tells the story of Aisha (Savage), an ambitious fashion designer. Now with a budding career in the U.S., she returns to her native home after 10 years away following a family bereavement. 

“At home, things have changed. Violence has escalated and tensions have been high. As she reconnects with family, old friends, and her past love, she must learn to live with her scars and confront the guilt she left behind.”
