Ghanaian actress and video vixen, Akuapem Poloo has opened up about her personal journey of converting from Christianity to Islam and the unique challenges she has faced along the way.
In an interview with Sammy Kay, Poloo expressed her struggles in adapting to the Islamic religion, which entails certain prohibitions that contradict her previous Christian practices.
She spoke candidly about the difficulties she encounters as she reconciles her past behaviors with the new norms dictated by her faith.
Poloo emphasized that her regular attendance at the Mosque has significantly influenced her mindset and behavior, making it inconvenient for her to engage in twerking and other wild dances that were once a part of her persona.
This internal conflict between her past and present selves has proven to be a genuine struggle as she strives to align her actions with her newfound religious beliefs.
Despite the challenges, Poloo acknowledged that embracing Islam has opened doors of opportunity for her.
She expressed deep satisfaction in fulfilling her long-time dream of meeting the National Chief Imam, a highly esteemed figure in the Islamic community.
Through her conversion, she had the privilege of engaging with the Chief Imam and experiencing a profound sense of fulfillment.
Furthermore, Poloo shared a memorable experience where her status as a Muslim garnered her respect and a special invitation to the Suhum Odwira Festival.
This cultural event provided her with a unique opportunity to interact with notable individuals, including the Vice-President of Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
