1. Everybody and perhaps most successful personalities across the world have its own unique motivating story before success, what is your own story Luckie?

Where I came from, as a child has been my greatest source of motivation. I shared a living room with 7 other kids with no bed and sometimes no food. Whatever fruit was in season I sold, then at night I would sell kelewele and fried yam. I remember this like it was yesterday. Times were very hard, and then my Great Grandmother came, I don't think God makes people like her anymore, the love ... Oooo the love my Nana gave ... She said, "The most important thing in this world that we all NEED and have to give is LOVE and it is not for sale, its free and beautiful." That's what helped us out of the situation we were in.

5. How does it feel to be a mother? What has been your major challenge raising them and doing what you do as a big screen personality?

My major challenge is to not fail them as a mother; (teaching them just the pillars of life) is not all. Teaching them to love God and be selfless, give what you been given by God to those who need it. Work hard and take nothing for granted even the air we breathe.

6. Describe your husband in 3 words?

Crazy Sexy, Cool

7. I read it somewhere, where you allegedly said, “you will never allow your daughter to take after your acting career”, is that true? May we ask why and what direction would you like her to take?

Lol.. I didn't say that on a bad note. Every parent wants their children to be better than them. I want them to be bigger than me, change life, and make a difference in life more than I'm trying to do. I can only wish but Only God knows the future. I’m only here to guide them.

8. Describe the Ghana movie industry with a sentence?

We are one of the most creative people in the world but we lack financial support.

9. What do you think the industry needs to do to be able to pitch its tent with the very best in the world?

We need support from the companies in our country and Government. Branding of the Artist, making them brand ambassadors... Our country can do a lot but they rather....

10. Some say the Ghana movie industry lacks content and promotes nudity, do you agree with them? Tell us more

Well, there was a time that the trend of movies coming out of Africa had so much nudity not just Ghana that made me a little sad. The viewers didn't take; they spoke against it because it was losing the family values that we held high. Now we back on track with the movies that educate society 'like cotton twines" "The Cursed one" and many fantastic movies.

11. What is happening with the brand Luckie Lawson at the moment and what should the world expect in the year 2017?

I needed a little time for my family and business and plan well. As to where I want to stand in the movie industry, 2017 is going to be beautiful, we still on set of my company’s upcoming TV series "HAUNTED." I’m blessed with a beautiful cast and crew. And we have 2 movies that are in Preproduction stage.
