Salma Mumin talks about relationship with parents

The popular Ghanaian actress once shared how the divorce of her parents affected her while she was growing up.

According to Salma Mumin, she needed to raise herself since neither of her parents seemed available to do the parenting at one point in her life.

“When I was in school, SSS, just like everyone had parents or guardians to come to visit them, I never had that. I had to be in school, eat the gari just like that. If food was coming or not coming when I went to school, that was it,” recalled Mumin.
“I can say I practically grew up by myself. I had to carry myself to the hospital when I was sick, and just keep things to myself because there was nobody to say them to. A whole lot.”
