When asked what amount she received in connection with the Vodafone deal, this is what she said;

I WISH I COULD HAVE MENTION THE AMOUNT, BUT LET US KEEP IT CONFIDENTIAL FOR NOW. I CAN SAY IT WAS VERY LUCRATIVE AS COMPARED TO ALL OTHER TV COMMERCIAL DEALS I’VE HAD.

She also featured in movies like ‘Shuttered Romance’, ‘Beautiful Ruins’,’She Prayed’ and ‘The Wife’.

When asked how the journey has been, she said it hasn’t been easy coming this far and she think actresses and models in Ghana have really improved and stepped up their game.

Charlotte and her management are coming up with a project to help street hawkers since she has been one before. They also have an ‘Awakening The Dreams’ project where she visits selected orphanage homes, take them out on excursion trips and make a donation to the orphans.

Charlotte believes ones uniqueness depends on the the style, talent and the looks but will keep her’s as a secret. She concluded by giving upcoming actresses and models this advise;

THIS IS HOW FAR I HAVE COME AS A TROTRO DRIVER’S DAUGHTER, SO TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR HEAD UP, STAY FOCUSED IN WHATEVER YOU DO AND NEVER TRUST ANYONE IN THE GAME BECAUSE OF BACKSTABBING.

She thanked all fans, friends and family for helping her get this far, and added that it is their motivation that pushes her to do what she does.
