Accra: Ghanaian actress and entrepreneur Fella Makafui has taken a trip down memory lane on her feature in the popular teenage series YOLO, revealing that she almost rejected the role of Serwa, the bread seller. A role that became her one-way ticket to acting, fame, and popularity.
According to Ghana Web, Fella Makafui shared her thoughts in a social media post, reflecting on how the experience shaped her career and identity. She expressed gratitude for the opportunity that she nearly turned down, emphasizing the significance of taking chances on uncertain opportunities.

Your moment will come," she advised.
