Ghanaian actress and social media influencer Rosemond Alade Brown, popularly known as Akuapem Poloo, has won the Discovery of the Year award at the 2024 Ghana Movie Awards.
The event took place on January 18, 2025, at the International Conference Centre.
The talented actress was recognised for her outstanding performance in the movie ‘Widow’s Gift’, directed and produced by Juliet Ibrahim.
Akuapem Poloo faced tough competition from other nominees, including Frank Ntiamoah, Matina Dwamena, Sherita Adu, Quesh, and Augustina Aboabo. However, her talent and dedication to her craft ultimately earned her the award.
When she received her plaque, Akuapem Poloo was overwhelmed with gratitude, thanking God, the organisers, and Juliet Ibrahim for believing in her and giving her the opportunity to take part in Widow’s Gift.
She also expressed her appreciation to all the producers who have cast her in their movies, saying it was a dream come true to be recognised in this way.
“I’m happy to be here, to stand here and receive an award. I think my first time coming to the Ghana Movie Awards was in 2016, and since then, they’ve been inviting me. But to be nominated, I will say a big thanks to Allah. I will say thank you to Juliet Ibrahim for casting me in Widow’s Gift. Thank you to the Ghana Movie Awards, thank you, Mr. Fred, for believing in me, and thank you to all the producers who cast me in their movies,” she said.
