In this podcast, I delve into heavy topics that have often been sidelined in the African society, particularly Ghana where I live. In these episodes, I have conversations with people living with first-hand experiences of issues ranging from bi-polar disorders to Africans indulging in sham marriages abroad in hopes of finding a better life.

My goal for this project is for people to find hope in their dark corners, to instigate paradigm shifts and to share the heroic stories of a few people in their own words.

    S3 EP9 : A Conversation on Pro-Life v Pro-Choice [Abortion] with Wendy, Christine and Emmanuel

    Are you Pro-life where you believe the foetus must always be preserved or are you Pro-choice where you believe the mother, the carrier of the foetus should be allowed to choose to keep the foetus or not? Why do you believe what you believe? Were you taught to believe that? And how strong are your beliefs?

    In this episode, I have an intelligent and a passionate conversation with three of my very good friends who are all lawyers; Wendy Antwi-Asimeng who argues Pro-Choice, Christine Opoku-Onyinah and Emmanuel Ackom-Danso who argue Pro-Life.

    if you are living with cystic acne or a similar condition, you are not alone.

Heartwarming

I can’t imagine how hard it was for you to have done this even after all this time. The highlight for me was the bit about finding people’s encouragement annoying. I have not known such grief but I always say this to our mutual friend and my mum that I would rather you just be quiet. It’s nice to know I’m not alone.
