Ghanaian Abroad Says Slay Queens Can’t Survive In US: “You Have To Hustle To Make Money”

• Queen Bella is a Ghanaian who left for the United States of America even though she had a business and some properties in Ghana
• According to her, staying in the US for five years has shown her that slay queens cannot survive abroad unless they hustle
• Several social media users who saw her post shared their thoughts on her assertion in the comment section

A Ghanaian lady in the US said slay queens cannot survive abroad if they are not ready to hustle since living outside Ghana strips one of some comfort.

Queen Bella said she lives in Massachusetts and works for every penny she makes unlike in Ghana where she used to receive free money.

In an interview with DJ Nyaami, Queen Bella said she started a failed cosmetics business back in Ghana. She travelled to China for the cosmetics business.

However, when the business did not survive, she travelled to Turkey and started dealing in shoes and towels. She began with just five pieces, gradually increasing to 20-30 pieces as her business grew.

According to Queen Bella, when she travelled to the US, she did not intend to stay permanently but the fast depreciation of the Cedi against the dollar made imports more expensive and that caused her not to return.

She added that because she was not going to return, she sold her car and other items in Ghana.

Even though she struggled in the beginning, Queen Bella said she persevered so she could make it. She indicated that she started from scratch in the US, initially working live-in and live-out jobs.

Comparing Ghana to the US, Queen Bella described her time in her home country as the best

“I never lived without a car or shared an apartment. But America will make you a nobody before it makes you somebody. Slay queens who don’t want to work can’t live in the US.”
