Sika Osei opens up on style, career and goals
Ghanaian actress and TV host Sika Osei has spoken to Nigerian beauty and lifestyle magazine Zazaii on a range of subjects including her pan-African show 53Xtra, acting, beauty and style as well as future projects, among other things.
She’s been described as impeccably stylish, infectious and bubbly but she said of her sense of style:
“[I like to take things] extremely easy. Comfort is always key and I would rather go for classic and lady-like [stuf] than go for sexy which not everyone can carry off. I keep it very simple, that way I can never go wrong.”
Describing her mother as a role model, she also credited Ellen Degeneres as being a huge influence, adding that it is her dream to get to the point where despite achieving a lot, she can still give back to society and impact on the world around her.

On the best career advice she’s gotten, she said:
“First, do what you truly love and makes you happy then make your own lane and follow it. Comparison is always a bad idea unless you’re trying to be like everyone else. Find out what makes you stand out and focus on that.”
On her special someone, the sexy media star stated that she has a thing for some guy who doesn’t even know about her feelings yet but she intends to let things pick up naturally.
She said: “He doesn’t know yet *covers her face with her palms* [and] no I’m not a stalker. Let’s just say it’s early days and [our] relationship has still not been defined.”
She also stated that her natural hair gives her a glamorous appeal as it makes her feel effortlessly beautiful.
On the major lessons she’s learnt thus far as a media girl and actress, she said:
“I’ve learnt that the older you get and the higher you go, the smaller your circle gets! And that’s fine! Keep a tight circle and even within the tight circle keep to yourself sometimes. Self-reflection is very important to analyze and strategize.
“Time waits for no one. Just yesterday I was 21 and now I’m errrr older. Lol. There are so many things I wish I would have done by now and due to fear I haven’t! Moving forward I’m learning to be fearless and do what I’ve always wanted to do.
“Depend on God first then believe in me! No one will go hard for you as much as yourself. It’s important that Self-belief and positive self affirmations always be part of your daily life.
“Always try and look at everything that happens in life with positivity. As hard as that may sound I truly believe everything happens for a reason.
“Always be focused on what’s important in this life! Looks and beauty will fade, material things will come and go but the impact we make on people’s lives will resonate forever and eventually come back to you.”
The screen star who turned a year older Sunday, June 12, 2016 also explained that she gets to experiment with her fashion sense a lot given the benefits of working with stylists and the variety of brands and designers at her disposal.
On her upcoming projects, she explained that she is currently working on materials for both TV and the internet.
She said: “I’m currently working on several personal projects for both TV and Web! Yep total world domination. So from Vlogs to TV movies I have plans to do projects which would allow people get to know the real me. They are scary but exciting. I’ve also currently embarked on an initiative that I’m super duper excited about called The Creative Inc which will bring young talented creatives together to implement some mind blowing projects.”
In this light, she is looking to produce her first feature film.
She also spoke on areas she loves as well as hates in the media and entertainment space.
She said of the things she loves most:
“Making a living doing what I love and by expressing myself creatively without having to do a 9 -5 is always a good idea.
“It opens doors to meeting a lot of people not just in the same industry but the world.
“It’s an industry that allows you to be an influencer. As to what you do with it, it’s up to you."

For areas she hates about the industry, she said:
“It’s quite a superficial industry and a lot is dependent on how you look. This tends to highlight people’s insecurities and flaws and soon some begin to loose track of reality and live in false fame
“There is no job security. So one has to have thick skin and a hustling mentality to make it in the industry.”
She rounded off the interview by urging the people to believe in themselves rather than look to others, as that inner conviction is important for success.
