Telefonika said Chef Abbys, you deserve a new phone! And just like that, I didn't have to swap my phone again. What a life. Thank you so much Telefonika🥹❤️🙏🏼
Accra is very dirty. It’s bad very bad. In certain areas there are heaps of rubbish at every turn, and many gutters are clogged with waste. It’s not a good look
Looking back, I can only say thank you to Wesley Girls’ High School. I didn’t realize at the time the level of training, discipline, and preparation I was receiving, but I see its impact in my life every day.
Even in war it is considered unethical to harm children and non-combatants women.
Why do we have 40 kidnapped children and everywhere is calm as usual!
In 1998, I was fired from my corporate job while 9 months pregnant because and I quote, “my priorities would be elsewhere after the baby is born.”
The lawyer I hired told me I didn’t have a case because discrimination like “that” was almost impossible to prove.
So I got pissed.
Took the LSAT. Went to law school. Passed the bar. Had 3 more kids.
Twelve years later, another woman from that same company was fired for the same reason. She sued them for a million dollars, and won, partly because I had kept every piece of evidence from what happened to me years prior demonstrating a systemic pattern of discrimination against women.
That company no longer exists. My law practice is thriving. And that baby they said would derail my priorities? She’s a brilliant attorney now working at my firm.
Turns out my priorities were indeed, elsewhere.
Everyone will try African food before I leave this country, representation is important! And even if they don't try directly, they'd see it on my page and then go and try it!
