Ghanaian journalist, Gifty Andoh Appiah, has inspired many after recounting how she elevated from humble beginnings to become a media personality.
Growing up, Appiah sold kenkey, kerosine, and polythene bags to survive. The former Multimedia Group journalist shared her story on Facebook to welcome the new year.
”Of the hustle and successes, it’s the kenkey, kerosine, and polythene bags I sold on the streets of Accra that I ponder the most – from Tema through Kaneshie to Agbogbloshie,” she recalled.
Having carved out a niche for herself in Ghana’s media, Appiah attributed her success to God.
”I stand amazed, how God’s mercy has brought me, and certain that 2022 is filled with thanksgiving and even more gratitude towards the Lord, our God, the I Am,” she said.
According to Appiah, she only shared part of her story about defying the odds.
”Part of my story. (Tip of the iceberg). Thank you for each time you read/liked, shared, commented on my post, or got involved in making me a better person.
”I hope we have touched lives or at least inspired, and we can continue in 2022. So help us, God. Much love,” she said.
Her account has inspired many of her colleague media friends and netizens.
