Early life
Juliet was born on March 3, 1986, making her 35 years today. She was born in Accra, Ghana and is thus a Ghanaian citizen by birth. However, she is of mixed ethnicity, and her parents come from different nationalities. Her father is of Lebanese descent, while her mother has Ghanaian-Liberian ancestry.
Due to her ethnicity, Juliet has often faced problems in Africa and the rest of the world. In Africa, she has been described as not being “black enough” due to her skin tone and is often called a half-caste.
However, in the rest of the world, she is seen only as a black woman. On her part, the Ghanaian actress doesn't see herself as a half-caste but a black person and is proud of her ethnicity.
Juliet Ibrahim was the oldest child amongst four siblings. She has described her childhood as easy-going due to a loving family. However, it was also challenging, mainly due to the rough regions she lived in.
One of her most difficult experiences was surviving three different civil wars in Liberia, Lebanon, and Cote d’Ivoire. The wars forced her family to move around, tearing her apart from friends and memories she had made.
In total, Juliet has lived in four different countries. After spending some early years in Liberia, she moved to Lebanon, where she completed her primary education. Her family then moved to Cote d'Ivoire, where she attained her West African Senior School Certificate.

From a young age, Juliet had a passion for arts and was a secondary school's drama club member. She was involved in stage plays and performing arts, which would come in handy later in her acting career.
Career
After graduating from college, Juliet started as a runway model, working for top Ghanaian brands such as Dar and Lovely, B Exotic, GTP Fabric, and others. She also did some commercials and tried her luck in music and business. However, it was her acting talents that would finally payout in the end.

After Nollywood exposure, Juliet's career took off, and she went on to appear in over 50 Nollywood and Ghanaian movies. After a decade in the acting industry, she decided to push the ceiling higher, going into producing. In 2014, she released her first film, Number One Fan, in which she also starred. The film was followed shortly by another one, Shattered Romance.
Aside from acting and producing films, Juliet has also ventured into directing. Her first directorial debut was the TV show, Every Woman Has A Story. In addition, she has directed her own reality TV show, The Perfect Assistant, which is sent to air soon.
