What Ebi Bright said about private life

Last year, Bright addressed the importance of keeping her marriage and family life private during her speech at the Youth Development Summit.

In her address, she urged young women to be intentional about the paths they choose in life, emphasising the significance of making informed decisions early on.

Bright, the first woman mayor of Tema, chose to keep her loved ones out of the limelight, fully aware of her limitations in safeguarding them from public scrutiny and judgment.

Ebi Bright left acting for politics

YEN.com.gh also previously reported that Tema Mayor Ebi Bright is among some actors who swapped the screen for politics.

She first went unopposed in the 2015 primaries on the NDC for the elections of 2016, then ran for a seat in the constituency.
