Yvonne Okoro Opens Multi-Dollar Business

Award-winning actress Yvonne Okoro has decided to become an entrepreneur and has established a multi-purpose company that offers services in commercial advertising, public relations and media consultancy, event management and real estates, NEWS-ONE has gathered.

The actress is said to have acquired a state-of-the-art building in the commercial district of Accra from where she would operate her company known as Desamour Company Limited; a new project believed to be worth a couple of million dollars.

Not many of her fans are aware that aside showbiz, she has good academic credentials. She wields a Bachelor of Arts Degree from the University of Ghana and was at the Universite’ De Nantes in France to study Press Civilization, Drama and Marketing.

The beautiful actress has remained mum about her new company but a close source said she would go public soon when she launches it with the release of her first ever produced movie, with the working title, ‘The Contract’.

She is planning a mega event that will attract the crème de la crème of Ghana’s showbiz industry and other personalities from South Africa, Nigeria and UK.

Last year, she decided to add another job description to her CV- movie producer. Like her business activities, she tried to hide it from the media but to no avail.

The new movie, ‘The Contract’, will be out soon. It is described as an award-winning movie by those who saw it from the editing bench.

It was directed by Shirley Frimpong Manso, with South African popular star Hlomla Dandala and Yvonne Okoro as the lead cast.

Yvonne will be announcing when the movie will hit the big screens soon. Currently she is busy garnering support for her younger sister Roseline Okoro, who is doing very well, to win this year’s Miss Ghana contest.

Roseline over the weekend put up an amazing performing at the Miss Ghana Street Fashion Show at the Osu Oxford Street on Saturday evening.
