SPOTLIGHT: Adjoa Andoh-Exceptional, Diverse And Honouring The Motherland

blankI didn’t need to search too far to find this lovely gem to break the male dominance here on GhanaCelebrities.Com.
Bringing to you an actress well expressed on every artistic platform she chooses, we present to you, Adjoa Andoh, a woman in the Akosua Busia kind of league. Be it stage, radio or television, she makes sure her name is well engrained ahead of her peers.
Adjoa Andoh was born in 1962 and practices her art mainly in the United Kingdom.
She was another face of Ghanaian descent on the series CASUALTY besides Abdul Salis. She stayed for 90 episodes and played ‘Sister Colette’.
Aren’t we proud to have two strong Ghanaian faces in one production?
She also spread her wings several times in Doctor Who as Francine Jones, companion Martha’s mother.
She has gone on to dazzle on stage at the RSC, The National Theatre, The Almeida and the Royal Court Theatre in productions such as His Dark Material, A Streetcar Named Desire, The Odyssey, Blood Wedding, The Vagina Monologues, The Red and Black Waters and more.
Our Adjoa is also well vexed in audio performances most notably among them being the Audio Book of the Year for Tea Time for the Traditionally Built which she won an award for.

Howard Cunnell, Adjoa Andoh’s Husband

She has become a familiar face right from playing Jazz singer Karen in Easttenders to Amanda James in The Tomorrow People in 1995.
Despite her incredible talent, Hollywood only started to recognize her in 2009 when she played Brenda Mazikubo (Nelson Mandela’s chief of staff) in the movie Invictus. Where she starred alongside Morgan Freeman who played Nelson Mandela.
Other works this goddess has to her credit include What my Mother Told Me, Every time you Look at Me, The Shadow in The North, Adulthood, The Sound of Drums, The Lazarus Experiment, The Last of the Time Lords,  Narration of several more Audio books including Julia Jarman’s children books and more.
In the middle of her fabulously busy career, home girl doesn’t forget how important family is. She has been happily married for 11 years to author and Lecturer, Howard Cunnel with whom she has three daughters. Howard is author of The Sea of Fire and Marine Boy to mention a few.
In an industry where nothing comes easy especially on foreign soil, Adjoa Andoh shows us that when a Ghanaian woman works, she works hard.
