Yvonne Okoro Popular Ghanaian English actress Yvonne Okoro and Twi actress Rose Mensah, popularly known as Kyeiwaa, according to information gathered by NEWS-ONE, would be starring together in a movie. Even though talks are still ongoing to get the two to be part of the movie, sources are sure the deal will go through.   Both stars are interesting characters to watch and have both won awards.
