LAGOS, Nigeria(VOICE OF NAIJA)- Ghanaian actress and filmmaker Juliet Ibrahim has proudly earned her first academic degree, graduating with honors in Business Administration in Marketing Communications, from Berkeley College at the age of 39.
In an inspiring story of perseverance and determination, Ibrahim revealed that she had put her education on hold after high school to support her siblings.
As the first daughter in her family, she chose to prioritize their future, working hard to ensure they had the opportunity to pursue their own careers.
Rising to prominence at the young age of 19, her busy schedule filled with acting and creative projects, made returning to school a distant dream, until four years ago, when her friend Busie Matsiko-Andan encouraged her to go back and pursue her long-deferred goal.
Despite the challenges of balancing her career, motherhood, and studies, Ibrahim successfully completed her program as an online adult learner. She proved that with dedication and the right support, dreams can be realized at any stage of life.
