Ghanaian actress Maame Serwaa has openly shared why she has no intention of permanently relocating abroad. Speaking in an interview with Nana Romeo on Okay FM, the actress explained that although she occasionally travels outside Ghana, she always returns home afterward because she fears being ridiculed by Ghanaians if she takes on a regular job overseas.
“It’s not wrong to work at McDonald’s,” she said. “But you know how our people are — they would start mocking you. Some would say, ‘When she was in Ghana, she lived a big lifestyle, now look at her.’”
Maame Serwaa emphasized that if she ever moves abroad, she would prefer to work rather than depend on anyone. However, she admitted that the negative mindset of some Ghanaians towards ordinary jobs abroad has made her more cautious.
The award-winning actress also reflected on her career, expressing gratitude for how far acting has taken her, even though she believes she still has many goals to achieve.
Her candid statement has sparked conversations on social media, with many people debating the stigma surrounding Ghanaians who take up regular jobs abroad despite being celebrities or public figures at home.
