    I have found myself continually exploring aspects of life that are often hidden or misrepresented in our society. I explore personal experiences and the lives of the average woman, and in some cases, the conservative Muslim woman in Ghana or around the world who gets lost in thought, dreaming of the day she would not be looked at as incapable of accomplishing goals and aspirations…more

    In my work, I explore how the lack of opportunities and unemployment issues have led most of Accra's youth to seek greener pastures in other countries, often leaving the country through any means necessary.
