Recounting her ordeal, she narrated that she had nowhere to go to lay her head, therefore, making a settlement at a mechanic shop as her new home in Tema.
”Around 2003 I was staying with my aunty at Tema and I had a little argument with her and her husband thought I was a bit difficult to control so they threw my sister and me out of the house at the age of 21. I had nowhere to go. I ended up staying with some friends at a mechanic shop in Tema Community 2,” she said.
She added that few weeks after she was sacked from her auntie’s house, her mother was admitted to the hospital and eventually passed away so she had to move back from Nkawkaw to Tema with her two siblings to stay at the mechanic shop since that was her home in Tema and being the first child of her mom, it was her duty to take care of her siblings.
