We MUST NEVER #FightEachOther - Anita Erskine
Anita Erskine, one of Ghana's finest radio and television personalities and popularly known as the "Boss Lady" due to her role as the co-host of the Starr Drive on Starr FM in Accra, Ghana has advised all quarters of the creative acts industry not to fight among themselves.
As to why she made this call is yet to be known but we strongly believe it is coming at a time where some celebrities are abusing each due to the #DumsorMustStop Vigil.
If you have being following our publications, somewhere last week, movie actress and producer Yvonne Nelson lashed out David Oscar (a Ghanaian comedian and actor) after he made a "hypocritical" statement about the #DumsorMustStop vigil.
This was followed by some response from the comedian which many described as a disturbing development especially when politicians from the ruling government are also expressing their thoughts on the subject.
Anita Erskine who has being in the creative industry for the pass twenty years, we believe is advising everyone in the creative industry to represent the people (masses) and not the fight among themselves.
Read her post:
"We are called CREATIVES because we offer the World a world away from their problems. Even though we use our skill to highlight the very same issues that people are facing everyday, we alone, have a way of packaging it such that people watch, learn, understand and replicate with ease ~ film, Song, dance, radio, tv, drawing, painting, rapping, poetry......We exist in a world that people may misconstrue as being #Fantasy because we #MakeBelieve. It is our job to do so.
Having said that, we are also very human. Outside our world of work, we exist in the Real world. BUT we are blessed to be custodians of talent. Talent that allows us a unique way of highlighting society's issues in a way society itself did not even think of. We are a #movement. We carry our voices like torches in the night. We give hope to the hopeless. We make people smile. Above everything, We #FightToHelpCommunitiesFindSolutions. We MUST NEVER #FightEachOther."
