Outspoken actress, Yvonne Nelson says most Ghanaians are timid.

She told Sammy Forson and Berla Mundi in an interview on a special edition of Route919 on Live 91.9 FM.

“I think it is time Ghanaians speak up. Speaking up in Ghana is a problem, most of us do not like to talk and it saddens me that we are like that. We should learn to speak up,” she said when she was asked why she is so passionate of things happening in Ghana.

She founded the Yvonne Nelson Glaucoma Foundation in 2010 to help create awareness about the disease. With support from other Ghanaian celebrities, she recorded an all-star charity single, and shot a video to help educate people.
