Juliet Ibrahim makes history leading women in Film & Television Ghana
Renowned actress and producer Juliet Ibrahim has made history as the first president of Women in Film & Television Ghana (WIFT Ghana), marking a significant milestone for women in the country’s creative industry.
In an Instagram post, the actress called her appointment a “powerful moment for all women” across Ghanaian and African film, TV, and digital media sectors.
“This milestone is not just a personal achievement, but a powerful moment for all women in Ghana’s and Africa’s film, TV, and digital media industries who continue to break barriers, amplify stories, and reshape narratives both in front of and behind the camera,” she wrote.
WIFT Ghana, now part of the global Women in Film & Television International (WIFTI) network and affiliated with WIFT Africa, aims to strengthen connections between African creatives and their global counterparts.
The organization is dedicated to empowering women locally through advocacy, mentorship, and professional development.
As president, the actress has pledged to promote collaboration, mentorship, and opportunities for women in the creative industry, with a special focus on supporting youth, storytellers, and female innovators across Ghana.
“I’m committed to fostering collaboration, mentorship, and long-term impact for emerging and established female creatives, with a special focus on uplifting youth, storytellers, and innovators across all regions,” she said.
This leadership role comes alongside the actress’s recent academic achievement, a degree in marketing communications from the University of California, Berkeley, further strengthening her ability to champion women in the arts.
