Ghanaian
actress, Juliet Ibrahim, in a recent chat said she never dreamt of becoming an
actress. She said that as a kid, her life ambition was to get into music.
“I wanted to be a
musician when I was growing up and I really loved Celine Dion. It just
happened. I won a beauty pageant in 2004 and shortly after, someone called me
about an audition. The person said they were looking for someone like me and
that was how I became an actress,” she said.
The fair-skinned actress
also gave reasons why she established a foundation to help people living with
kidney cancer. She said two of her aunts have kidney cancer and one almost
died.
“I have the Juliet
Ibrahim foundation and help people with kidney problems. We raise funds for
dialysis, treatment and transplant. Kidney treatment is so expensive. It is one
of the most expensive ailments to treat. It has not been easy raiding funds
alone.
I have two aunties that have been diagnosed with kidney cancer. It has
not been easy living with them and knowing that they have a terminal illness.
One of my aunties living with the disease almost passed away recently. I thank
God she survived,” she said.
