Doing my childhood, education was not all that popular but working to earn for living was the norm of the day so daddy send me to learn a photography and that has been with me ever since.After primary school i was asked to learn photography and the distance I used to walk to the site is not all that easy but I manage to go and through God mercies, I was cut by one man who used to feed me and give me money for transportation so after a while, I was asked to stay with him that helped me to break the bone of poverty. Because of my heart goal I told my self never ever to look backwards considering my family background. So through this man intervention, after my work he bought a camera for me to start something and I succeed in that sector and through that I manage to feed myself and life began from there.That introduced me to my business now. The unique culture of my place is the Kwahu festival which attract people from all over the world .This is one of the most popular festivals in Ghana now.I want my children to become people of destiny in the future that is why am pressing forward for them.I acquire remember when I was a child we went to steal somebody's mangos and the person made us to weed under the mongo all day.hahahaaa.Thank you
