However, her fortunes began to change when she returned to Ghana to pursue her education with all seriousness.
Despite facing numerous obstacles, she persevered and eventually secured a job with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
Her association with the UNHCR opened doors to new opportunities, including participation in international conferences.
During this period, she faced a health setback when diagnosed with posterior vitreous detachment, a condition that threatened to derail her progress.
Yet, she demonstrated strong resilience and determination, vowing to overcome her challenges and make a positive impact on the lives of others.
The young lady's academic achievements proved her unyielding spirit. She successfully completed her degree course in Portuguese at the University of Ghana, a feat that earned her praises on social media. In her words:
"At age 10, I was a slave I served people in order to eat. At 14, I returned to Ghana to continue schooling. I also worked as a maid here. I started to seek help from the UN as my father was very sick to take care of me. I returned to Guinea Bissau in 2019 but life wasn't favourable there. 18 years old me got a job from the UNHCR. This was me in Togo for refugee conference. I started my degree course in Portuguese at the University of Ghana.
"This was me in Angola for another refugees conference. I stayed there longer than I had expected. I was diagnosed with posterior vitreous detachment here and it felt as if my world was falling apart. I vowed here that I will do anything in my power to rescue others from slavery. Thanks to my beautiful mother. Today I okay golf. I'm almost a professional. I now have my first degree in Portuguese. All thanks to my late father and God."
