Three women from Ghana who were at risk of dropping out of secondary school due to poverty will finish their master's degrees at the University of Cambridge this week. https://t.co/QJmcAHy1m3
I got a Director of Engineering offer in big tech earlier this year. Top 10 US big tech. I was stoked.
It got rescinded weeks to my start date. I was devastated for months. I kept wondering why I would get the offer only to get rescinded and I started wishing they had just rejected my application.
But now I know why I got it. I got it to prove to myself that indeed, I am at that level, and I am making impact at that scale (because my impostor syndrome is terrible. I am literally always scared 😂😭)
Fast forward to today, I’m about to start adding so much value in my current role and I feel peace, purpose, and excitement.
A lot of times, that rejection (no matter the form it comes in) is redirection 💕💕
Tomorrow over 100,000 Ghanaians in the Greater Accra region will wake up before 6am to trek early to the junction or lorry station to queue for a bus to take them as close to their work destinations as possible. Some are coming from recently flooded homes and others will have to battle jumping over mud and puddles or else have stained shoes.
Our minister will be sleeping as she is duly tired from carrying all the heavy weight of her award as best performing regional minister in Ghana.
🚨ICYMI🇬🇭🏆: The Greater Accra Regional Minister has won “Regional Minister of the Year” while her region was underwater this very week at the Ghana Ministers of State Excellence Honours.
3,000 streetlights later, the city’s still dark.
That’s not all.
“Best Deputy Minister” went to the Deputy Minister for Transport whose commuters are still stranded at the station(s) & junction(s).
Ghana Ministers of State Excellence Honours.
Read that title again. Lol.

Someone decided to organize Ministers’ Awards and not one person paused to ask whether it was a good idea?
You got dressed up and accepted awards from yourselves instead of being judged by the people you serve?
What kind of self-congratulation exercise is this?
At a time when communities are flooding, this is the optics you chose?
Bad. Very bad look.
The number of vehicles that use sirens in this city should really be looked at. Ah just join the traffic with us, it’s 7pm which work are you going to do??
This is an example of what you said. We at Tatas and Friends are currently putting up a six classroom block. This is why everyone should pass through Kenkey for the needy this year.
We have laid foundation for rhe building and blocking laying has started.

Just give them more science and maths teachers nationwide; and oh yes more science and maths facilities too.
Common functioning science labs, many high schools don’t have.
