Becoming the niece of a renowned pastor comes with great challenges like having to live that righteous life that the public and other persons love to see.

However, Sista Afia in a report published by YEN.com.gh as far back as 2017, explained that she had every right to choose her own path.

"I am the niece of Duncan Williams so what? This is my life and that is his life he has chosen to live and just because he is my uncle doesn’t mean I have to go the way he is going,” she argued.
