As part of her visit to Ghana, the Vice President of the United States of America, Kamala Harris met some people from the creative industry in Ghana on Monday, March 27, 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Award-winning American actress Sheryl Lee Ralph and British actor Idris Elba were also present.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In her address, Kamala Harris spoke about the great connection between Ghana and America and appreciated the works produced by Ghanaian creatives.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She added that the culture and creative industries are influencing the world beyond measure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe creative work that is happening on this continent as represented by the work that is happening right here, is extraordinary in terms of the international global impact. And this is not a new phenomenon. But it is something we\u2019ve done with all the current excitement about the evolution of culture and music,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sheryl Lee Ralph stressed the need for the creatives to invest in themselves.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou must invest in yourself, in your art first and then you burst it out to the world. We\u2019ve all done it. And it\u2019s been hard for us, just as it will be hard for you. But as artistes we never let the difficulties stop us,\u201d he advised.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Idris Elba, also reiterated the need to promote the entertainment industry and urged the creatives to work harder to push their craft.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis trip is significant in the right direction but don\u2019t forget it starts with you, it starts with hard work, it starts with places like this so we can see more talents roll out from this\u00a0<\/p>\n
Later, Kamala Harris announced in a tweet she had created a playlist that features Ghanaian artistes Black Sherif, Amaarae and others on music streaming platform Spotify.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
\u201cI am releasing a playlist featuring the artists from my travels across Ghana, Tanzania, and Zambia, including many of the Ghanaian and Ghanaian-American artists I met today like @blacksherif_ and @amaarae.\u201d<\/p>\n
Other Ghanaian artistes whose songs got featured on her playlist are Herman Suede, Kuami Eugene, Baaba J, M3nsah, Ria Boss, and Sarkodie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
