Renowned Ghanaian actress and media personality, Grace Omaboe, affectionately known as Maame Dokono, has expressed her enthusiasm for a proposed statue in her honour at the Maame Dokono Park in Accra.

She acknowledged that even though she was been satisfied with how well she had been celebrated over the years, having a stutue or  a bust at the Maame Dokono park will cement her legacy.

She believes such a monument would not only preserve her legacy but also inspire younger generations to follow in her footsteps.

However, Maame Dokono noted that she doesn’t want to impose her wishes on anyone and would leave the decision to erect the statue to the discretion of others.

 

“Yes! I think there should be my statue there for my legacy to be in the minds of the little ones who are coming because I am even in their books.”

 

“If something like that could be erected in my honor, it will be a nice thing. I am not forcing anybody to do it but if it is done, fine!” she said in a recent interview.

For over five decades, Maame Dokono has enthralled audiences with her remarkable acting talent, leaving an indelible mark on Ghana’s entertainment landscape.

A household name, she was the face of the iconic Akan Drama series and the lead actress of the renowned Obra Drama Group.

 

 

The celebration will include a series of events, such as a health screening and the highly anticipated release of her autobiography, which promises to offer a glimpse into her illustrious career.

Maame Dokono is preparing to celebrate a remarkable 60 years in the film industry with the launch of her book, “The Unforgettable” tomorrow, September 7, 2024
