Ghanaian actress, Nikki Samonas, has shared her emotional life story with the public, revealing the struggles she faced after her father’s death when she was just 10 years old. Despite the common misconception that she comes from a wealthy background, Nikki disclosed that her life took a drastic turn following her father’s passing, forcing her to move from home to home in order to survive.
The actress opened up about her difficult past during an episode of The Ladies Circle, stating that her hardships never allowed her to dream of a life in the spotlight. However, she expressed her intention to document her life experiences in a memoir that she plans to write in the near future.
Nikki also debunked the assumption that she had a privileged upbringing due to her mixed-race heritage, emphasizing that her father’s death had a profound impact on her life. Despite the challenges she faced, Nikki’s dream of working as a UN Ambassador for refugees has become a reality. In 2020, she was appointed as the National Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
Reflecting on her childhood aspirations, Nikki shared that she always wanted to work with the UN and learn new languages. She expressed gratitude for the opportunity to fulfill her dream of advocating for refugees and working towards a better world through her role as a Global UN Ambassador.
