The old student of Wesley Girls High School said the hustle in the USA is real hence Ghanaians who yearn to make that trip should be measured in their expectations.

“When I first came to the USA, my expectation was very high, I felt I wasn’t going to see potholes or even beggars”

“My advice to the youth is that if you have something to do in Ghana or you are living a little bit comfortably concentrate on that and when the opportunity comes then you go for it.”

She added, “if the oppprtunity is not forthcoming don’t do anything illegal to come to the USA because even with the right document, most people have to struggle to get to where they are”.

“On social media, it looks that easy but it is not, it is hustling life” she added.
