It was shot by Stocktown Films led by Teddy Goitom.
Speaking about being a woman in the entertainment business, Wiyaala proclaims: “Being a female is not easy. You go and meet people who want to help – but, they always want you to give them something in return – before. And, I was like, no, if you don’t wanna help, just go away. I’ll do it anyway. They said, ok, if you think it’s that easy to do it here, let’s see how you do it. Before they knew it I was back on stage.“
Now, there is hardly anyone in Ghana who doesn’t know about Wiyaala, and her international visibility is not to be ignored either.
“If you’re not strong, and stand up for yourself, you’re going away.” Wiyaala incorporates the DIY attitude; she is a self-made artist.
She is the flag bearer of agency for women in Ghana, which is something she is completely aware of and hopes to inspire other young women to come out, do what they like and fight for their dreams.
Her intent is obvious and admirable, as she ponders about changing the traditional gender dynamics in her video for ‘Rock My Body’: “You can do everything you want. You just have to come out and believe in what you can do”.
Afripedia Ghana will be aired on Swedish TV, Kunskapskanalen on October 23rd at 10.25 p.m .
