The child actor who made this known to Graphic Showbiz stated;
“I have heard people say I will not have time for school because I am making money. Money is good but it cannot be as good as my education. Even though I can earn up to Gh¢2.500 a movie, I have never thought of quitting school.
“I have told movie producers who ask for my services that when I am in school, I won’t have time for them and they respect my decision” Maame Serwaa told Showbiz in an interview last Monday.
Explaining why she would choose school over acting, Maame Serwaa said acting is seasonal and that producers can decide not to use you anymore but if she takes her schooling seriously, she will be in a good position to land a job any time.
She also downplayed arguments that she could not speak English hence her attraction to Akan produced movies.
“I wish I could try one of the English language movies to prove to everyone how good I am”.
Responding to accusations of being disrespectful due the roles she has been exposed to, Maame Serwaa told Showbiz that she is often saddened when she hears such stories.
“I don’t know why anyone should say I am disrespectful. Ever since I started acting at age 6, never have I insulted or spoken to anyone rudely”.
Asked what she intended to do with the money she earned, Maame Serwaa indicated her mother and manager were investing on her behalf.
