Sandra Ankobiah: Looking for my Adam
TV presenter, model, actress and lawyer Sandra
Ankobiah opened up to arts writer Francis Doku
last Friday during the latter’s weekly interview
of Ghanaian celebrities on social media site
Twitter dubbed #FridayTwitterview.

The interview covered several areas including
Ankobiah’s career, her aspirations for the year
2014 and her ideal man.

Francis: Hi Sandra how are you today and how is
2014 treating you?

Sandra: Hi! !! I'm fantastic! Happy New Year!!
2014...Hmm so far, so good.

Francis: Did you make any resolutions for the
year?

Sandra: I did. I made two. The first is to be
better with my time management (I'm almost always
late! ). The second was to pray that all my
aspirations and goals are fulfilled.

Francis: hahaha...I can relate to that. Let's
dwell on the mood of the country for a moment.
What do you have to say about Dumor?

Sandra: I'm deeply saddened that we have lost such
a gem. I admired him for his eloquence. His
diction was impeccable. May he RIP.

Francis: Tell me about how you found yourself in
the media? Or did the media find you?

Sandra: I think it started off with the TV show,
Fashion 101.

Francis: How did that start? What motivated
Fashion 101?

Sandra: I was inspired by the E's Fashion Police
show and of course my passion for fashion.

Francis: Tell me about fashion. Do you think we
are getting it right or we are nowhere close?

Sandra: I think we get better every day. We learn
every day. As with anything else, it's a learning
process.
Our fashion industry is a burgeoning one. Still in
its nurturing stages. But we have come a long way
in the last few years.

Francis: Have you abandoned Fashion 101 for New
Day?

Sandra: New Day is not a replacement for Fashion
101. Indeed they are different brands and concepts
with completely different demographics. But in all
honesty, I've decided to move on to my first love
which is the Law. I studied Law for a reason. And
that is to help people and make a difference.
People are languishing in our prisons because they
do not have access to legal representation. Legal
representation is a constitutional right of every
Ghanaian.

Some just can't afford it, but it doesn't mean
they should be denied justice. Some things are
just more important than others. So when I weighed
Fashion 101 and offering legal aid, the scale just
tipped in favour of offering legal aid.
Francis: To recap, you'll continue to present New
Day, you will go off Fashion 101 and you will go
into legal practice more in 2014?

Sandra: Exactly. Joining an organisation to offer
free legal services. Details soon.

Francis: Thank you. Tell me Sandra, are you in a
relationship at the moment?

Sandra: No I'm not.

Francis: Why are you not? Not enough good men out
there? The good ones are taken? Not interested or
not ready?

Sandra: I LOVE love. I just haven't found my Adam.
If he's out there, please let him know I'm looking
for him .

Francis: How would he know? What are your
benchmark qualities? Good looks and manners? Money
and looks? Money?

Sandra: Someone I can talk to and laugh with all
night long. He has to be ambitious, compassionate,
and we must connect on a magical level. It's
unexplainable. It's a feeling. Indescribable! He
must be tall.

Francis: Good to know. Back to TV3, how does it
feel hosting a morning show with the team? I feel
it's crowded.

Sandra: I love the show. I learn a lot from the
various segments. The team is great and we work
together well. The only time you see all four of
us together is when we introduce the show and when
we wrap up.

Francis: You want to clear the air on that
friendship brouhaha the press has raised between
you and Yvonne Nelson?

Sandra: Oooohhh Francis! Are we still on that?
It's 2014!

Francis: Are you friends? Were you friends? What's
the big deal either?

Sandra: We are cool. I've said it so many times,
I'm beginning to sound like a broken record.
There's absolutely no story there. I'm glad you
mentioned that it's the press that raised all the
brouhaha.

Francis: Cool. To conclude, what would be Sandra
Ankobiah's legacy in broadcasting, showbiz and
law?

Sandra: That the world was a better place because
I made an impact in the life of one person.

Francis: Thank you for your time and answers,
Sandra.

Sandra: My pleasure. Enjoyed it. Many thanks.
