The actress revealed, in an interview with Ladies Circle on Saturday that she was passed over for numerous parts due to her involvement in the critically acclaimed Efiewura series.

She clarified that at the time, the story cost her numerous roles because some producers thought she wasn't suitable for glamorous parts.

"I used to talk a lot before I would become anxious. Everything was about "I am a local actress because of Efiewura," since people assumed I couldn't even explain myself in English because of the Efiewura tag.

I was actually informed that I had the lowest chance of being cast in a glamorous film as the daughter of a wealthy guy due to my involvement in several local programs.

Are we really that superficial?Thank goodness, AMVCA, speaking Twi got me there. Speaking Twi is who I am; this is my identity.

Thank you to Shirley Frimpong Manso. She is aware that I perform Efiewura, but she told me to "do it your way, Gloria, blending the dialogue with the Twi language if you feel comfortable doing so."

Take charge of your own actions. I tried it, and with God's help, it succeeded," the woman remarked. Gloria stated that while the criticism associated with her being called a local actress didn't bother her, it did make her feel uneasy.

"I have been informed that I don't appeal to the target demographic, which is why my face won't appear on the movie posters when they come out for the lead roles I play. "So you knew and you still brought me on to do what exactly?" I ask. she said.
