In this interview with the Punch, the Nollywood/
Ghollywood actress talked about the challnges she faces as
an actress, her relationship and style.
Read excerpts from the interview below:
Challenges
Sometimes, it is related with my colour. The fact that I am of
a mixed race makes people think that I receive preferential
treatment. That is a huge misconception. There are times my
colour is a disadvantage and I cannot get certain roles. They
would rather give the role to a dark-skinned actor especially if
both parents are dark in the movie. Sometimes, the fair-
complexioned actors are cast in the roles of husband snatchers
and other bad characters. People don't know that we go
through a lot. It has been very challenging to get a role that
can elevate my talent.
The real Juliet Ibrahim
I am just a very simple person. I am hardworking, a
businesswoman and a mother of a three-year-old son. I do
charity work too. I released two of my singles this year.
Relationship
I am married to a Ghanaian, who is a quarter-caste. His
mother is half Lebanese and half Ghanaian. We met several
years ago when he was living in the United States of America.
I was attracted to his personality and intelligence. We kept in
touch and got married three years ago when he relocated to
Ghana.
Style
I used to wear anything and walk around with my flip flops.
Now, I am conscious of the fact that style matters and
anything I do as a celebrity is a part of me. I always have to
look my best always. Style, for me, is wearing what I am
comfortable in. I try my best to always play with my shape
and make sure my figure comes out. I can try any kind of
dress. I am very dramatic with my dressing.
