Haillie, referred to as the Ghana Goddess, is currently one of the most sought-after faces in the Ghanaian entertainment industry, whose brand, passion, and personality transcend the boundaries of TV and entertainment. She is also a brand ambassador for the renowned bespoke British shoe brand, Jesu-Segun London, a shoe brand that has been endorsed and worn by global celebrities like Snoop Dogg, Chelsea Handler, DJ Duffey, Michael Blackson, and footballer Stephen Appiah.

According to PTV Media, Sumney, the face and brand ambassador for “SENAK HAIR COLLECTION," the latest hair line collection from popular hair and cosmetic brand First Choice Hair & Beauty, which was released in October 2019, clearly proved herself worthy of fighting for and ultimately landing the role due to the driving elements behind her interpretation of roles after reading for the producer and director in Lagos, Nigeria, resulting in a competitive situation among other preferred actresses vying to land the new project.
