Renowned British-Ghanaian actress and TV host, Ama K. Abebrese, opened up about her early struggles transitioning to the Ghanaian entertainment industry in an intimate interview with Okay FM.
Contrary to her expectations, Ama’s UK success didn’t automatically translate to effortless stardom in Ghana. “I thought every TV station would rush to hire me, but that wasn’t the case,” she candidly admitted.
Ama’s turning point came when she joined Canoe Magazine, gaining access to audition opportunities. Her breakthrough moment arrived when she met filmmaker Leila Djansi, who cast her in a film.
Reflecting on her journey, Ama emphasized the vital importance of humility. “If you’re coming to Ghana, come with humility. Recognize local talents who’ve been working here for years.”
Despite her extensive experience, Ama had to adapt to Ghana’s unique entertainment landscape. “I had to remind myself, ‘It’s okay to have experience, but this is a different terrain.'”
Ama expressed gratitude for the warm reception she eventually received, acknowledging the challenges she overcame. Her inspiring story serves as a testament to perseverance and humility in the face of uncertainty.
