He discovered that through my artistic stage performances and crafts I put up on every week’s live edition.

He even had plans of casting me for the Cinderella role in the Ghanaian version of Cinderella, but after the Ghana Most beautiful show, veteran film maker, Socrate Sarfo of Movie Africa gave me the opportunity to feature in 3 of his movies which I played lead roles Last Virgin, Sexy Angle and Girls Girls reloaded. After that, I also starred in Muda’s ever controversial movie, Kiss Me If You Can.

She continued that because of her dream to make it through acting, she started attending many auditions. Luckily, she met Mr Emmanuel Appiah of Revele Films. That was how she landed a lead role in the popular running television series “Abiba”.
