Ghanaian actress and movie producer Yvonne Nelson has revealed that her boldness and desire to speak up against injustice in the movie industry led to a targeted attempt to sabotage her career by the Film Producers Association of Ghana (FIPAG).
Speaking on Joy News’ The Career Trail show, the actress disclosed that she was banned by the association simply for being vocal about issues affecting the industry, especially because she was a woman.
I was banned by a group of men in the industry. They call themselves FIPAG. Something happened on set and they got together. When you are a woman and you are vocal; when you are unhappy with things around you, and you want to talk about them, people just don’t like that. They feel you just came into the industry. Why are you talking too much, why are you complaining too much. That was what I faced, because they felt like I complained about everything that I was unhappy about.
Yvonne added that the ban was a calculated move by some industry players to crush her ambitions. Following the ban, the actress decided to take matters into her own hands by launching her own production company, YN Productions. She revealed that the journey began with support from individuals who believed in her vision. Enditem
