playing the bRiDe for a day...


I had no idea what it was all going to be like acting as a bride for just one day for the JOYfm bridal fair. I've never been married, and thought of it as a job I had to do. I always wondered why many peole desired huge celebrations and customs - some of which we do not understand - all because a man and a woman are tying the knot.

The over-concentration on wedding ceremony, where the bride wears a white dress and the groom a suit, for me was somewhat irritating and sometimes people don't know why they do what they do, perhaps because that's what everyone else does.

I want to share my experience as a bride, or rather, acting as a bride. It was beautiful! I don't know if that sums it up. I guess I now know why every girl or most would die for that one special day. It's what you feel on that day. But I didn't know that before. Question - do other women know ahead? Or is it just the anticipation.

Well on that day, I felt like a queen:  looking beautiful, make up done right, an exquisite gown, the ride in the Rolls Royce phantom, the crowd, the paparazzi with their cameras, and all the attention and eyes on me. Call it an adrenaline rush. On the flip side though it was stressful, especially having to keep a smile on a 4/5 inch stilettos.lol
What a day it was! For the most part I think it was all worth it. It is easy to fall in love with your wedding ceremony but what happens to the marriage?

Word of advice to all the single ladies out there, enjoy the wedding day while it lasts, but remember it is only a day!
couldn't have done it without my girls Ofeibea and Lily!

‘Slay queens’ and the gendered politics of poverty

  Moesha Boduong is a 30-year old Ghanaian actress, model and social media influencer. Moesha likes to serenade her 2.3m followers on Instagram with pictures of her lavish lifestyle. From fancy holiday trips to luxury cars and always showing off the latest fashion trends, the party never seems to stop with Moesha. The era of social media has highlighted a new phenomenon of ‘slay queens’, a phrase whose meaning has varied over time; from the positive – women “killing it” in their careers and lifestyles to the negative – women dating rich, often married, men to fund their lavish lifestyles. Moesha was for a long time tagged by bloggers as a slay queen. Many believed this was confirmed after she admitted in an interview in 2018 with CNN’s Christine Amanpour to dating a married man who took care of her because of the harsh economic conditions in Ghana. Another woman in that interview admitted to dating in exchange for being taken care of, although her beau was a single man. Slay q...

Once upon a time you fell in love with your bestfriend....

I bet you're thinking, "did we live happily ever after?" Well did you? Falling in love with your best friend  always seems like the best thing to do, well because there has been friendship initially. There's always that one person in your, yes of a different gender, you are so close to him/her and you hang out together. He/she listens to you complain about crappy dates and you cry on his/her shoulder, you spend hours chatting and you always keep in touch no matter what, he/she understands you and isn't a jerk or doesn't nag about everything, he/she listens to you and understands you so you think that you are compatible. Well for some people you can say they lived happily ever after but i bet it wasn't easy for them despite how well they have known one themselves and how comfortable they are. There are so many true stories of best friends' love affair turn sour,  remember Rihanna and Chris Brown? Why do you think that your best friend changed after ...

ABUSED

Abused is a documentary about the ultimate domestic violence, lives ruined and a second chance. In it I tell the stories of battered and distressed women, and the hope ahead for them. Like my first documentary Killer Roads, I get deep into the dark lives of 2 strong women and share with you their untold, compelling stories –shared by many who are suffering quietly behind closed doors. The agony, the pain and the shame they bear. Tears of despair shed over a future into an abyss, battle with a hope merely by virtue of life. Wielding control over another may stem from inability to communicate properly, lack of respect, insecurities and wrong or misconstrued elements of our culture. In fact it’s a tall list. Nobody deserves to be abused and nobody has a right to hit or distress another. The law doesn’t allow it, you shouldn’t it either!!!
