Christiana Awuni has expressed her biggest challenge since she ventured into the Ghanaian movie scene in 2012. The multiple award-winning actress has disclosed how she lost a role in a movie casting due to her tribe. Speaking to Kyidom Bright (King Solar) on Showbiz Review, she said there are challenges in every work or job and this was hers. “Every job has its own challenges, but the one that hurts me the most was when I lost a role in the biggest movie ever made.”

“I nearly lost interest in movie making when the director said to me, we need Asantes to play a particular role, and not that of my tribe”, she said.

Christiana Awuni said this on Kumasi’s early bird entertainment show, “Showbiz Review” on Aben FM 103.3 MHz, a subsidiary under Joy Media Company.

The voluptuous actress and producer made the revelation to Kyidom when asked what her reaction was after she was denied a role due to tribe.

She said, “I was surprised and felt sad. I felt ashamed. I heard a director say this to me. We are all Ghanaians; one people, one blood, one nation. I reported him to the directors when we had a meeting, and he was penalized for making such a racist comment.

“I decided to quit the movie industry for better opportunities”, she further asserted.

The Kumawood actress explained how her roles in movies have impacted people’s lives.

“I did a movie called September House; it got me a lot of recommendations and calls. People called to tell me how my role had affected some family members in their family. I have done a couple of movies that have changed people’s lives”, Christiana Awuni said.

“Pioneering the Afro-gospel music genre in Ghana, Joseph Matthew is breaking down barriers and challenging stereotypes in the Gospel music industry.

In a recent interview with Metro TV, the talented artiste boldly shared his thoughts on the rigid expectations placed on Gospel musicians in terms of dressing and music style. He argued that it’s limiting and demeaning to condemn artistes who don’t fit the traditional mold, simply because of their appearance or sound.

Using his own experience as an example, Joseph Matthew revealed that some gatekeepers in the industry have rejected him due to his dreadlocks and unconventional sound, which deviates from the typical ghanaian Gospel music norm. He emphasized that what truly matters is the message of hope and redemption, not the messenger’s appearance or style.

Joseph Matthew hinted on a virtual concert and a new album on the horizon.
