We Can’t Brand Ourselves Local Artistes And Expect International Recognition -Juliet Ibrahim
Awards-wining actress and producer, Juliet Ibrahim has called on Ghanaian entertainers to step out of their comfort zones and re-brand themselves and look beyond Ghana if they want more international recognition.
According to her,until this happens, Ghanaian entertainers/artistes will continue to go unnoticed when it comes to International events.
Juliet’s wake up call comes on the back of calls by some artistes and entertainment pundits on Parliament to promulgate a law that will ensure that events held in Ghana will have Ghanaian artistes dominating during Prime-time performances.
Juliet Ibrahim is of the believe that most artistes/entertainers in Ghana do not look beyond Ghana. This she noted has been their bane.
