Why I Quit Acting To Become A Caregiver In The UK – Rita Dominic

Actress Rita Dominic has shed light on her decision to temporarily quit acting and pursue a caregiving role in London, United Kingdom.

Speaking at the recent Women of Valour International Women’s Day event in Ghana, Rita Dominic shared insights into her past occupation. She was seen donning a fashionable red blazer paired with a tassel skirt as she danced at the event.

Rita explained that she relocated to London after experiencing a falling out with friends she considered family, seeking a fresh start.

The 48-year-old said that while in London, she took care of adults with special needs, to make ends meet.

Many of you do not know but in 2001/2002 I stopped acting, I left the industry, I moved to London because it was a very dark period of my life, like I said, I had these issues, I just fell out with some friends I considered family and I just gave up acting for a while, I needed to get out, just leave that space for a minute.

“And then I moved to London and then gave up stardom and then, you won’t believe it. This is something I never told people before but while in London I was trying to make ends meet so I started working in a care home as a caregiver for adults with special needs, while some might view it as a step-down, I don’t.

“Taking care of others brought me joy and purpose at the time I needed it most because remember I took care of my mother and my father when they were ill because I was alone with them.”
