Veteran Kumawood actress Rose Akua Attaa Mensah, widely known as Kyeiwaa, has urged Ghanaian youth to prioritize education, highlighting its critical role, especially for those aspiring to live or work abroad.
Now residing in the United States, Kyeiwaa shared the personal struggles she has faced due to her limited educational background, particularly in communication. She explained how her challenges with English have made daily interactions difficult, emphasizing the necessity of formal education for thriving in developed countries.
She pointed out that a lack of education can create barriers to job opportunities, accessing services, and integrating into society. Her heartfelt advice struck a chord with social media users, many of whom expressed their gratitude and shared their own stories.
One user wrote, “Thank you, mummy, for this great advice. Some of us wished we could go to school but had no support. We love you, mummy.” Another remarked, “This is so true. Sometimes, when you tell people this, they argue that education isn’t necessary to succeed.”
Since relocating to the U.S., Kyeiwaa has taken a step back from acting, leaving fans longing for her return. Many would love to see her grace the screen again, starring in a gripping Kumawood thriller or reprising her iconic roles in supernatural dramas.
