Abebrese born 3 May 1980 is an award-winning British Ghanaian actress, Television presenter and producer. <\/p>\n<p>She was born in Ghana and raised in West London in the United Kingdom. <\/p>\n<p>Speaking exclusively on GN Radio in UK last week, the renowned actress and TV host  explained her \u2018BIG\u2019 move from UK to Ghana and how that has contributed immensely to the success in her career. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople keep asking me; \u2018Ama why did you have to leave UK when you are making it big here?\u2019  But I laugh and I tell them Ghana is my home and that\u2019s where my root is. When I came to Ghana I realized there are a lot of immigrants over here; some coming all the way from Poland and living their normal lives and going about their normal duties so that inspired me to also stay  which I did. Fortunately for me, I have my folks here so it was easier when it came to where to stay or lodge,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Touching on how she penetrated into the Ghanaian market in terms of acting, the \u2018Beast of No Nation\u2019 actress added, \u201cwell that just didn\u2019t happen; it took me about 6 to 8months before I finally got to be featured in Shirley Frimpong Manso\u2019s \u2018\u2018Sinking Sands\u2019\u2019 and then other roles started coming and it was amazing. From movies, I even got an appointment as a Production Head at then Viasat1 now Kwese TV.  I also hosted the morning show \u2018NEW DAY\u2019 on TV3 with Nana Aba Anamoah and Benny Blanco.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo coming to Ghana was amazing though I didn\u2019t come with many expectations. I was treated well because this is my home and since then I don\u2019t regret coming.\u2019\u2019 She added.<\/p>\n<p>Ama.K Abebrese\u2019s film credits include the international multiple award-winning film Sinking Sands, directed by 2011 BAFTA LA and Pan African Film Festival prize winner Leila Djansi. <\/p>\n<p>The film received 12 nominations at the 2010 Ghana Movie Awards, including &#8220;Best Actress in a Leading Role&#8221;, the film won four awards, including &#8220;Best Film&#8221;, and also the Netflix movie Beasts of No Nation directed by Cary Fukunaga and stars Idris Elba.
