Akosua Busia

Anybody else a Color Purple fan? Well, Busia played the role of Nettie in the film (Celie’s long-lost sister chilling in Africa of all places), and she also had roles in the films Native Son and Rosewood. On top of that, Busia, is also a prominent writer, co-writing a song on Stevie Wonder’s A Time to Love album and was a co-writer for the Beloved screenplay (the 1998 film version). Akosua, who was born in Ghana, is the daughter of the former prime minister of Ghana, Kofi Abrefa Busia. On a mad interesting side note, she’s also the ex-wife of John Singleton (post-Tyra years). The two married in ’96 and share a daughter.
