A popular Ghanaian student from Agogo State College has stirred controversy after naming Ghanaian actress Yaa Jackson as her role model in a classroom discussion.
In a video shared on social media, a teacher asked students to mention their role models. While many gave answers that ranged from politicians to academics, the young lady’s choice of Yaa Jackson caught the most attention.
Yaa Jackson, a Kumawood actress and social media influencer, has become known for her revealing outfits and antics on social media. She frequently shares photos on Instagram wearing minimal clothing, a style that has drawn both criticism and admiration.
The actress recently faced scrutiny after the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) issued a public warning about body enhancement creams and syrups she promoted on her social media platforms. The FDA advised the public against patronising these products due to potential health risks.
The student’s choice has sparked mixed reactions online, with some social media users questioning why she selected Yaa Jackson over other public figures. Some folks claimed that the influencer was not an adequate role model.
