Early Life and Education
Madam Bridget Dumas gave birth to Joselyn Dumas in Ghana on August 31, 1980. Her mother and father divorced soon after. Joselyn’s mother raised her as a single parent.

Career
It was around 2008 when Joselyn was taken to Charterhouse by Kofi Okyere Darko (KOD), a long-serving radio presenter and close family friend. This led to her television debut as the host of Charter House’s Rhythmz, an entertainment show in which she interviewed numerous celebrities.
That same year, she co-produced Miss Malaika, a GTV reality beauty pageant that ran from 2008 to 2010.
She produced and hosted Rhythmz for a year before being hand-picked by one of Ghana’s largest television networks to host The One Show, a feminine skewed talk show that tackled health, beauty, fashion, social issues, entertainment, and personality interviews and aired from 2010 to 2014.
Joselyn currently hosts two television talk shows: @Home with Joselyn Dumas and Keeping It Real With Joselyn Dumas.
Joselyn began her acting career while working on television. “You have to be a good actor to be a good presenter; the two go hand in hand,’ she says. Miss Dumas is a well-known actress in both Ghana and Nigeria.
She has worked with some of Africa’s most talented actors, including John Dumelo, Majid Michel of Ghana, and OC Ukeje of Nigeria. Perfect Picture, Adams Apples, A Sting in a Tale, Northern Affair, The Genesis, and, most recently, Potato Potato are among her most notable films.
