In her post, she wrote:

"One of the main reasons of me coming to the USA was to channel more energy on my G6PD awareness campaign, when I got here I told the health workers at north central of my g6pd status and I was told they do not screen for that but today I heard the most exciting news ever that after making so much noise about it with the @deficiencyg6pd our cry has been heard and our wish granted @joy.w.p just told me when I visited the hospital yesterday that the newborn screening will actually now include G6PD test omg how sweet it sounds."

The Adom TV and Hitz FM presenter has been an advocate for G6PD awareness and shared that her move to the US in September 2024 was partly to focus on this campaign.

Tima welcomed her baby boy in late 2024, a year and a half after marrying Dominic Duodu in July 2023. Her maternity photos, shared on Instagram at the time, drew admiration from fans.
