From empowering of women and believing in yourself, and from the adventures of Mama Ghana.
I am from Mommy’s trunk boxes and the attic of Nene’s house where all the fine jewelry and clothing are kept From all girls school and Nuns to Obokun and Ekpoma I am from Canada, to New York, to North Carolina, to Pennsylvania, to Illinois and Michigan, now Tennessee I am from the adventures I have had and many more to come.
