The #metoo movement, which empowers women who have suffered s*xual harassment or assault to speak out, seems to be hitting Ghana next after rampaging through Hollywood and taking down some very powerful men.
Recently, several Ghanaian female celebrities have been speaking out about similar obstacles they have faced in trying to get jobs where men have tried to take advantage of them before giving out the job.
Latest to speak out is Joy News presenter Gloria Akpene Acquah, trade name MzGee. According to her, Oprah Winfrey’s much talked about Golden Globes speech inspired her and she has decided to also speak out about what she suffered.
MzGee narrated a story of her attempt to get a break into acting many years ago, but one powerful producer told her she would have to sleep with him before she would get any job.
