Renowned Ghanaian actress has opened up about her distressful life story while growing up as a child.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Narrating her life ordeal on The Ladies Circle over the weekend, Nikki Samonas said life became unbearable after her rich father died at her tender age, 10 years old.<\/p>\n

Nikki clarified that contrary to the assumption that she\u2019s from a wealthy family, she\u2019s been through hardship and torturous moments in life after her father passed away.<\/p>\n

According to the actress, her father\u2019s death caused her to \u201chop from home tome\u201d just to survive. She said her life\u2019s struggles and hardship never permitted her to dream of living in the limelight.<\/p>\n

However, she noted that her past life experiences have taught her much which she intends to pen down in a memoir very soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cFortunately for me, I did have a very rich father, he died when I was ten so life took a turn. When he died, it was rough. I was hoping from home to home and most people don\u2019t know that. Very soon I will write a book.<\/p>\n

People assume I come from a rich home because I am half-caste. I did have a rich father, but life took a turn after he passed when I was 10 \u2013 Nikki Samonas#TheLadiesCircle<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/rK0DN099bO<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI never ever thought, felt, fathomed, dreamed that I would end up in the limelight,\u201d she stated.<\/a><\/p>\n

Opening up about her dream as a young child, Nikki said she had always wanted to work as a UN Ambassador for refugees.<\/p>\n

Fortunately for Nikki, her dream has been fulfilled as she was appointed National Goodwill Ambassador\u00a0for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)\u00a0in 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, I wanted to work with the UN. That\u2019s the one thing I wanted to do that I have actually seen come to life as the Global UN Ambassador for Refugees. I felt that I am half-caste, I wanted to learn languages and work with the United Nations and eventually it has happened,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
