1. What makes my very Ghanaian wedding a different kind of wedding?.

The making of the movie took 2 years to write the story, a year to gather the actors and equipment and almost 7 months to edit. So from what I can tell, a lot went into the making of this movie because I hope that it will meet the Hollywood standard. My Very Ghanaian Wedding teaches the morality of our traditional wedding

2. Will you act nude to educate the youth about any cultural practice?.

The only cultural practice in Ghana that has half nudity in it is dipo of the Krobos. So, no, I won’t be going nude to act.

3. How can patrons save the dying movie industry?

Basically by investing more and not being afraid to take the risk of venturing into this business. Also by building theatres with governments involvement for more patronage of the movies.

4. Tell us about your role in My Very Ghanaian Wedding.

I played the role of “Beth, the result-oriented over exaggerative wedding planner and chief bridesmaid. Playing two roles in one has been one of my most challenging tasks for me as an actor.

Challenging yet so much fun because I had the opportunity to work alongside stars like Maame Dokunu popularly called Grace Omaboe, Dzifa Glikpoe, Vincent McCauley and Ludwig Kalms. The director, Helel Smith made taking on the role much easier. Then again as an actor, I aim to achieve greater heights.

5. White or traditional wedding. 

I prefer to maintain my traditions as a Ghanaian born woman.

 

6. Arranged or love marriages.

Definitely, love marriage. I’ve always been keen on marrying my friend and not a stranger who won’t understand me as a person.

7. What's your opinion about Interracial marriages?

I am in full support of interracial marriages. We are all humans at the end of the day and also it all about whom you will fall in love with not the color or race. The personality. I’d marry a white man if I’m in love with him.
