From knowing she would be rich without knowing how to becoming one of Ghana's most recognized influencers who treats life like a movie where she's the main character, and why the brutal truth about growing up with a Muslim mother who let you walk around without covering your head and never forced you to become a lawyer is that when you come from a home where conversations are balanced and there's no shame in saying I don't want rice today or I don't think this way, you grow up so confident in yourself that even when brands are bullying you online about your body and the comments are tearing you apart, the head of a major company sees that same post and thinks you're perfect to represent them because empathy works in mysterious ways and sometimes your lowest moment becomes the exact reason someone decides to give you a life changing opportunity, the young girl who lived a simple life where nothing really appealed to her and being a lawyer didn't make sense and being a doctor never crossed her mind because she's a soft girl and the only career she ever considered was being an air hostess because it looked nice and you get to travel, the daughter who could have any conversation in this world with her mother and there's no topic too crazy or too wild because her mom listens and takes time to understand why you think the way you think which is why they'll make food for everybody in the house but won't cook rice for her because it's not by force that she has to eat rice, the confident woman who thinks the way she thinks and if you don't agree that's fine because somebody will say something different and that's just how life works when you grow up in a home where your thoughts are valued and you're not being told don't do this it's like this without room for discussion, the sister from her mother's side who along with all her siblings are very open minded and very able to communicate because that's just how they were raised and it shows in how her auntie and her children also have that same great bond where conversations flow freely, the student who was forced to go to school one day even though she said she didn't want to go and a car knocked her down and the next week her leg was swollen and this whole place melted and her mother was so sad saying oh my God I shouldn't have forced her to go to school which is part of the reason but not the whole reason why her mom became even more understanding, the young woman who always knew she would be rich but just didn't know how because she has this feeling that life is a movie and she's part of the main character so things will always go well for her even if she's going through the worst things, the positive mindset that even when people were bullying her online because she said she brought a package and the comments were just people putting her in, she went for a life changing meeting and one of the heads said I know you I saw when they brought you the package and the comments were tearing you apart and he still found her fit to represent them, the philosophy that even if there's something bad it's building up to something good because the bullying she has gone through has made it easier for her to gain opportunities from people who feel empathy for what she's experienced, the realization that if you keep hitting her like in boarding school where you hit hit hit hit at first it hurts but then it starts feeling numb and you don't feel it again because that's how life works when people keep saying you are this you are this you are this you are this and she realizes it's not really affecting her life in a negative way, the wisdom that the only thing that can affect her life in a negative way is if she actually does something wrong because as long as she has not done anything wrong you can't hold anything against her it's just your feelings about her but not the feeling about what she's supposed to achieve.
