I dont know where she is from, She doesnt have a ghanaian accent or name, she maybe an AFAM. The movie was shot in UK or US.
I hear what you are saying, Its very unfortunate but i guess they got their money to produce they can caste (opps i meant cast  ) whom they want. Maybe the lighter they are the more it sells for them.  Thats no short from what happens here on the soils of USA.
What else is new??

Tru Review
"I thought you was a christian!"
"I'm a fabulous negro!"
The two best lines of the movie
Van Vicker has found his niche in CROSSING PATHS. It took a few films, but the right combination of "strength & suave", has made its way into his performance.
Jim Iyke gives a great performance as usual, as did the entire male cast! If this film were judged on gender, the men would win "hands down"...the women scenes pick up more towards the end of the film.
Sound was decent, but early scenes with "white walls" can seem very bright.
Overall I'd give CROSSING PATHS a solid B+!
KEYS THINGS OF NOTE:
I noticed this film was shot on American soil which seemed new and fresh, and of the new actors introduced in the movie, some were American as well...which is an idea that can be built upon. Who knows, Denzel Washington and Majid Michel together on the "Big Screen"? I'd pay to see it...in fact, I'd see it twice! People love going to the movies, plain and simple.
This post is dedicated to the memory of VASHTI JONES

Crossing Paths
Okay, I wasn't feeling the movie at all...I practically found it very boring and couldn't find myself going on to torture myself by continuing on to watch it.

i saw the previews in one movie or the other. Somehow, i dont enjoy naija movies based in the US or UK, they end up being very boring and/or forced. Upon hearing the American accents i was turned off. Thats just my opinion. I enjoy Naija/ Ghanaian movies with actors that have real naija/ghanaian accents. I dislike hearing too much American accent in Naija movies
