MY LOVE FOR YVONNE NELSON

YVONNE NELSON

My first post on this blog site that is created to celebrating women that have impacted so much in the life of people, Africa and the world is the popular Ghanaian Actress YVONNE NELSON. This is a lady that I love and admire so much not just because of her beauty, talent, intelligent, courage, brave to mention a few but because of her achievements and positive impact she has made worldwide.

She is a Ghanaian actress, model, film producer, entrepreneur and former Miss Ghana contestant

Yvonne Nelson is from Cape Coast but was born in Accra.

With the exposure from the beauty pageant, she won a two-year contract as face of Maxim Cosmetics, and landed a role in the TV series Fortune Island, where her acting career began. Her first lead role was the title character in the movie Princess Tyra.. Since then, she has filmed close to a hundred movies in Nigeria, Ghana, and Ivory Coast.
She founded the Yvonne Nelson Glaucoma Foundation in 2010 to help create awareness about the disease. With support from other Ghanaian celebrities, she recorded an all-star charity single, and shot a video to help educate people.

Nelson produced her first movie, The Price, in 2011, followed by Single and Married the next year. The latter won Best Picture at the Ghana Movie Awards and Best Ghanaian Movie in Nigeria at the 2013 City People Awards.

She followed these up with House of Gold in 2013.

AWARDS AND NOMINATIONS

In 2009, she was named Joy Fm Nite with the Stars Best Actress. In 2010, she was judged Ghana’s Favourite Actress at the Ghana Movie Awards and the Face of Ghana’s Best Actress 2011/2012 in the United States of America. She was also nominated twice at the Africa Movie Academy Awards and chosen as Africa’s Best Actress at the 2012 Africa entertainment Award in Malaysia.

She was picked Ghana’s Best Actress at the August 2011 City People Awards. Prior to that, her song about glaucoma picked up a prize at the Ghana Music Awards, GMA favourite actress award 2010, PAMSAA Best International Actress 2012, Hottest Ghanaian Actress in Nollywood (City People Awards 2013), Best Picture for Single and Married (GMA 2012), and Best Ghanaian Movie for Single and married (City People Awards 2013).

OTHER ACHIEVEMENTS

She also has a number of businesses in Accra, including a fashion shop called YN's Closet. The shop has latest designer wear from around the world.

She owns YN Productions with movie credits.

Nelson launched YN Hairline which introduced lace wigs and human hair collections into Ghana’s market. At the time, the wigs were very new in Ghana. As part of her efforts to give back to society, she launched the Yvonne Nelson Glaucoma Foundation in 2010 to educate the public on the harmful effects of the eye ailment.

YVONNE NELSON “THE GREAT LIONESS”

Yes she is indeed a lioness. Her fight for DumsorMustStop tells that indeed she is a lioness, super woman and a warrior. Not everyone can fight for one person talk less of fighting for the comfort of a nation that is the masses especially the poor ones.  I am very sure that Yvonne can afford the best generating set that can supply power for twenty four hours a day for her household but she thought of the comfort of others and went into fight against unstable power supply in Ghana. She led a peaceful vigil on May 16, 2015, called DumsorMustStop. The hashtag #dumsormuststop is currently used on social media to amplify the concerns of Ghanaians with regards to the energy crisis. She also headed the group for the campaign #dumsormuststop with other celebrities accompanying her.
