Life, they say is a combination of trials and tribulations but great people look beyond trials and
tribulations. They look beyond the horizon that appears to be the end of the
world and see other opportunities that nobody imagines can exist. And their interested act of dreaming, acting and realizing the dreams have positive
multiplier effect on society. This is because celebrities are born with talent and
to make things happen, they combine talent with hard work and determination.
The very essence of getting to celebrity is that you need to have vision since you can’t blow an uncertain
trumpet. Nevertheless, innovation distinguishes between a star and a fan.

| Inorie Fotso: The Mega Star you're Hearing of |
Inorie Fotso, the daughter of the Fotso
Victor (the Cameroonian billionaire) was born with a golden spoon. But unlike ordinary visionaries who see far and remain on their original position,
she did wait for things to happen for her. She walked for her vision. As a
world class actress/ musician and producer, Inorie Fotso has rumble of serious innovative ideas that have kept her talent in
the movie and Music industry in the United States of America afloat, succeeding where others have fumbled, stumbled and tumbled
over. The official release of her latest single scheduled for June 5, 2013
would be groundbreaking. The question many have been asking is who actually is
this rare Cameroonian star hitting the chart in Uncle Sam’s America? In fact the answer is simple. Inorie Fotso is a bulk of talent and a
distinguished artist in the entertainment industry.
John Quincy Adams says that if your
actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you
are a leader. Inorie Fotso is a celebrity with exceptional leadership
qualities. Her actions are litmus test of what a star ought to be. Though a youth
still in her prime, Inorie Fotso’s traces in the music industry are likened
only to those of Beyounce and they speak volumes of wisdom. In the Movie
Industry she is an incomparable character at the doorsteps of Hollywood. And since
the final test of a star is that he/she leads the young as their role model.
Inorie Fotso is actually the role model who is leading African youths with
conviction and has the will to carry on. Many youths today look up to mega star
as their role model and the incarnation of hope and a better future for anyone
hoping to enter into the world of entertainment. In getting to where she is
today and especially in the United States of America, she toiled labourously to transform vision into concrete reality. That is
why today she is building common frontiers for all segments of society. In
doing this, she followed the principle outlined by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
that ‘heights by great “men” reached and kept were not obtained by sudden
flight but, while their companies slept, they were toiling upward in the
night’. As the daughter of the popular Cameroonian billionaire Fotso Victor,
she could have decided like others to do the simple things, but because she
believes like Lance Armstrong that ‘greatness is not a measure of how great you
are but of how great others came to be because of you’, she decided after she
obtained her degree in Business Administration to enter into entertainment
where she is loved, admired and cherished by the poor and lowly in our society,
the middle class and the rich without any barriers. Today, she is scoring
because of that firm choice.
Inorie Fotso it should be noted was born
in Douala in the Littoral Region of Cameroon in a renounced family. Her mum is
Marie Fotso and her daddy is the business magnet Fotso Victor. In 1994, young
Inorie left Cameroon for Lome in Togo where she graduated in flying colours.
The quest for more knowledge took her to Da Vinci International School in
Belguim where she graduated with a certificate in Business Administration. And in
2002, she left for New York-USA, where she bagged a Bachelor’s Degree in
Business Administration and later her vision took her into modeling and
performing arts.
Inorie is founder and Chief Executive
Officer (CEO) of the “Goddess Films Production.” What
makes her the shinning star in the eyes of the world is that Inorie Fotso is a
talented woman of vision and action. Vision and action are two cardinal
ingredients for success and as the Japanese proverb hold: ‘vision without
action is daydream; Action without vision is nightmare’. She neither daydreams
nor entertains nightmares. This is because of her zeal to recreate the world
and knowing like Abraham Lincoln that ‘the best way to predict the future is to
create it’, she put into her vision the necessary ingredients that make her
succeed in the entertainment industry.
The Role Model
Inorie
Fotso is a veritable role model to young Cameroonians. Role models are people
whose examples can be emulated. To say that Inorie is a role model is to say
that many an African youth can look up to her. We live in a society where
positive role models come in short supply. More and more, people are rather
shocked and surprised by someone’s good deeds than by his waywardness. With the
prevailing situation of moral decadence and bad behaviour from the elders,
youths hardly have anyone to look up to. The few remaining good examples like
Inorie Fotso need to be commended and recommended. She has proven that the real
opportunity for success lays within the person not the job. Therefore, to say
that Inorie Fotso is a good person is to use the weakest diction to describe a
right celebrity. Even though
billionaire dad tried to stop her from acting and modeling when she first started,
he has since given his blessings to see her succeed. Inorie is one of the top
actresses in Cameroon and has a list of high profile movies to her name; which
includes 'X – Class' and 'The American Dream'. Besides music,
Inorie also announced the release in a few months of a film entitled, “Coming
From Africa,” produced by Blaise Christian Sitchet (another dynamic Cameroonian
based in the USA). “Coming From Africa” paints the picturesque of a young African
immigrant in the USA. Inorie is one of
the main characters in the film and she plays the role of a young frustrated
immigrant, depicts life and the challenges that African immigrants encounter in
the USA.
In fact the most thrilling part of the
journey of this daughter of a father billionaire who decided to go for her
vision and empower the world through the entertainment industry is success story is told in superlative terms just
to confirm Rudy Giuliani who says that leaders need to be optimists.
The World Class Musical Icon
Speaking to Cameroon Tribune, Inorie
Fotso, said her maiden single will introduce her to the world and showcase her
talent through the ‘Techno’ music genre.” “My aim is to represent Cameroon and
to encourage and inspire young people to work harder to achieve their dreams.
Where there is a will, there is a way,” she explained.
As a refined song writer, she carefully
selected two songs from the eight she has written. To crown it all, the single
is groundbreaking and will hit the chart at public release. To know her better
is to listen to her song which brings people closer to daily challenges. She uses
music to sermonize why people should live in happiness, peace and love and at
the same time advocating for a world free from hatred, betrayals and
sufferings.
As it is universally acknowledged that
the fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom, Inorie started her musical
career singing the gospel music in a duo album titled. “The Lord is my creator”.
To cut it short,
anyone who misses to get a copy of her latest single which will be released on
June 5, 2013, would have missed the chance of listening to the music that awakens
the soul. Do not be left out and be part of the new way with this intelligent,
beautiful and talented musical icon. After all, Inorie knows and believes that home is where the heart is reasons why she always visits Cameroon to inspire more youths.
