“Around 2003, I was staying with my auntie in Tema and I had a little argument with her and her husband thought I was a bit difficult to control so they threw me out of the house.

I was 21. I had nowhere to go. I ended staying with some friends at a mechanic shop in Tema Community 2,” she said.

She further revealed that a few weeks after she was sacked from her auntie’s house, her mother passed away.
