A video sighted by YEN.com.gh showed the teenager in an excited mood at her workplace, busily trimming the hair of a customer.
In the interview, the teenager confessed that her decision to become a barber was made right after she completed Junior High School.
She admitted that she was not academically inclined in school and decided to focus on doing something she was interested in.
Josephine added that her mother also supported her decision and played a crucial role in helping her find a place to work.
"I was not a bright student in school, so after I completed JHS, I told my mother I wanted to become a barber. She also knows I am good when it comes to doing that. I often trimmed the hair of my siblings, so she took me to a barber to work and learn as an apprentice."
The teenager opened up on her desire to succeed in her chosen field as a barber, adding that she wanted to make her family proud.
"Every time I motivate myself, I also remind myself that I do not come from a rich home and that I will make my family proud."
She is good at her job
In an interview, Thomas Sowa, Josephine's boss, shared his assessment of the teenager's performance.
"Her mother reached out to me with an appeal that her daughter aims to become a barber and learn by working under me. After two weeks, she had mastered the skill and was eager to begin trimming the hair of adults. I also realised that she was ready for that task, so I permitted her. After trimming one man's hair, I commended her for her zeal and determination. She has improved with each passing day."
At the time of writing this report, the video posted on the YouTube page of Vice Versa Media Ghana had raked in over 100 views and four comments.
