Beverly Afaglo Baah (28 May 1983 – 24 May 2026) was a Ghanaian actress and television presenter.[1][2]

Background

[edit]

Beverly hailed from the Volta Region in Ghana. She was married to Eugene Kwadwo Boadu Baah. They had two daughters.[3]

In August 2021, Afaglo's home was damaged in a fire that lasted approximately four hours, and she reported losing most of her possessions.[4][5]

Death

[edit]

Afaglo died from cancer on 24 May 2026, at the age of 42.[6][7][8][9]

Career

[edit]

Afaglo trained as a beauty therapist at the FC Institute of Beauty Therapy, Ghana, and was a student of the Ghana Institute of Journalism, where she studied journalism and public relations.[10] Aside from acting, she operated Glamour Beauty Salon in Tema.[11] She launched her new chain of businesses called Traffic Shawarma on 5 April 2024.[12] She shared how she was unhappy about producers and directors not using old actors in their movie projects.[13] She highlighted how casting decisions have shifted from skin-tone bias to favoring those with strong personal networks. She noted that being an actor or actress is no longer about talent, but rather one needs to have the connections to be in movies. According to her, this trend diminishes the quality of film production.[14][15]

Business

[edit]

Aside from acting, Afaglo, who was a family woman, was able to combine her acting career with being a serial businesswoman. She founded B.A.B. Handyman Ghana Ltd., a service platform offering plumbing, electrical, and home repairs.[16]
