You’re like an old familiar place…,
Sometimes like a sweet familiar sip.
I know where to go when the mountains tick,
Because I keep running to you—
I don’t want to do it anymore…

It’s a joy to find and live your dream. That happened to me about two years ago when I decided it was time to start my beauty saloon— the Style Unisex Beauty Lounge.

After years of working with my vibrant and dedicated team, I can say the experience and all of its seeming challenges are worth it.

After three unsuccessful attempts in the past three weeks to submit my passport forms at its designated office, I was finally able to do so on the 10/09/15, and officially, started the process of renewing my Ghanaian Passport— the second phase in itself, promising to be the beginning of new bouts of frustration.

Reminiscing over the events of my past unsuccessful attempts makes me sad. It makes me wonder how many unsuccessful attempts others have also had to endure— and I don’t even want to remember the hours I wasted waiting in queues very early in the morning, only to be turned away…

Finally, I have seen clips of the Koforidua sex scandal which went viral on social media. It raises concerns that we must address with urgency, as a society; on character, discipline and consent.

Human are sexual beings and we are allowed to indulge but certainly, at the expense of others; degrading and takes advantage of them— and those were exactly what the young man did to his victims when videoed their sex experiences without their consent.
