Such a smart PR move. Gwyneth being ex-Coldplay and known for doing funny ads that make fun of herself, simply makes this a brilliant joke about what happened, without having to explain anything.
Clever, classy, and a smooth way to move forward👏🏾😂
What would it take to have a repository of stories of our leaders, in form of documentaries etc as part of standard practice, imagine what it would look like to watch Ghana’s history unfold before our every eyes with intentional storytelling…
Been diving into videos about #ProfJohnEvansAttaMills today, I never really knew him as President, so this YouTube deep-dive has been eye-opening. It also makes me wonder: are our historians and documentarians getting the support they need to properly tell our national stories?
Another opportunity to be grateful for my parents. We didn’t grow up with much but chale, good grades and good home training were a constant.
And to have these whilst surrounded by so many uncertainties of life is added blessing.
Happy Our Day to all Parents 👏🏾
Residents of Ashaiman have expressed joy and satisfaction with authorities for the fast tracked commencement of road rehabilitation projects across the municipality, following years of deterioration and neglect.
They’re urging for the expansion of the projects to other inner city roads within the municipality, including the Valco Flat Road and the Ashaiman Newtown Junction road, which have become unmotorable.
The saddest thing I’ve felt in my work in marketing and dev’t work, is to constantly encounter a whip smart young person, so full of potential, evidently ready for greatness but stick in obscurity without exposure to possibilities.
That hurt always hits different

Weight loss advice is based on studies conducted on men and applied to women.
When female hormones enter the picture, science suddenly finds it ‘too complicated’ and ‘too expensive’ so they study men, apply the results to women, and pretend it’s universal truth.
As a result, the recommendations women receive are often based on male physiology and when they don’t work, the blame is placed on women.
Not the research. Not the bias. Women.
Science has historically neglected female bodies. This isn’t controversial, nor is it a theory. It’s how medical research has operated for decades. The research is deemed ‘done’ because it’s been ‘done’ on men.
The studies are male. The standard is male. The failure is assigned to women.
