Vivacious actress and screen entertainer, Jackie Appiah, has uncovered that her folks never believed she would one day be on our television screens, due to the opposing perception they had towards her becoming an actress, instead of a legal practitioner.

In her own original way of expression, she expanded on the issue by saying;
“Growing up, my Dad did not want me to become an actress he wanted me to go to school and pay attention to my books. That is the same role I played in the movie Symphony, where you didn’t want my daughter to follow her dreams by becoming a musician. I felt my daughter should become a doctor or a lawyer that’s what resonated with the real Jackie Appiah about this movie.”
“This story resonates with me so much because it reminds me of growing up, when my daddy wanted me to become a lawyer, because I come from a family of lawyers.”
“Father didn’t understand, why I should become an actress , he just wanted me to become a lawyer. But I followed my dreams and now he is enjoying the success and he is happy, so am I.”
