You put it out there, the listener is not feeling the message at that very time, do you force the listener?

Ghanaian actress, Gloria Osei Sarfo talks about women in the entertainment industry. Moreover, she advised Ghanaian women in the Creative Arts industry not to be lazy this year. They must work harder and make moves to push them further in the industry and put them on a higher ladder like their male colleagues.

This is because the minister mentioned in her speech that most women lack confidence to nurse their talents to the top. This is due to factors such as general discrimination against women among others.

Moreover, according to Gloria, anytime a woman rises to the top it is strange. This is because it is not easy considering the gap between women and men in the industry.

“I think we are in 2019, we the women should not allow men to override us.

“We are in 2019 and this time around I think we women should not sit back we shouldn’t be lazy we should get up and do something”.

We shouldn’t think for the public that, we won’t receive the necessary support when we make the move.”

He said if producers get returns from the money they push into their movies, they wouldn’t mind paying the actors well but if the only means to get income through one premiere, it will be difficult to pay the actors better than they do.

“Let the structures work. Let the creative art ministry sit up and realize the needs of the industry, Deal with it, follow us. You might say they didn’t invite us we don’t need to invite you, you need to know what is going on in the country when it comes to creative arts” 

Also, he added that the ministry should endeavour to be at entertainment events. This is in order to know the true state of the industry.
