According to Nana Aba, Serwaa had a different lifestyle and was known for her big hairstyles, long eyelashes, long nails and skimpy dresses before she ventured into broadcasting.

She explained that Serwaa wanted to work in the media but struggled to understand what was required of her to become a news presenter.

Nana Aba disclosed that when Serwaa expressed her desire to present news, she told her she was not ready because she needed to make significant changes to her appearance and approach to the profession.

She explained that she introduced the concept of “noise” in news presentation, stressing that a presenter's appearance should not distract viewers from the information being delivered.

Nana Aba recalled telling Serwaa Amihere that her hair, eyelashes and nails were distracting and that viewers needed to focus on the news rather than her appearance.

However, Serwaa initially struggled with the suggestion, insisting that she could not do without her signature hairstyle and eyelashes.

According to Nana Aba, the turning point came after Serwaa experienced a difficult situation that left her seeking guidance and ready to learn.

She said Serwaa subsequently returned to her, removed her hair extensions and eyelashes, and expressed her willingness to learn whatever was necessary to succeed in broadcasting.

Nana Aba described the moment as a turning point in Serwaa's journey.

The video has resurfaced at a time when Serwaa is facing criticism and support over her comments on counterfeit designer fashion and the pressure to appear wealthy.

While the old interview focuses on professional discipline and Serwaa's early struggles, its emergence has drawn renewed attention as many continue to backlash against her over her controversial comment.
