"The journey has been tough, very tough. Breaking my back, sleepless nights, working so hard to pay my fees. Been working on my Bɛsiaba's Brew(brewing local drinks and Decor and Desh) Households(producing detergents) for five years. And that's how I survived," Vivan tells YEN.com.gh

To make matters even worse, when she started her first degree, Vivian lost both of her parents on the same date.

However, with her Diploma in Accounting (distinction), the hardworking lady was able to complete her Bachelor of Business Administration (second upper) and has now graduated with an MPhil in Finance.

On what kept her moving on despite the many challenges, Vivian said:

One thing I believe in is Never Quitting. Being a single mum shouldn't limit you in anyway. You achieve if only you want to.
