However, she did not get a job immediately after she arrived and stayed jobless for six years.

“I was not working and became a housewife for six years after I joined my husband in Italy. I therefore told my mother and siblings not to request money if it was not an emergency since I didn’t want to be a financial burden to my husband.”

According to Eno Serwaa, her joblessness occurred during an economic crisis in Italy. She added that before arriving in Italy, her husband encouraged her to learn a skill in Ghana, but she did not listen.

Eno Serwaa said she regretted not listening to her husband’s advice.
