March 6th our family celebrated Ghana’s Independence Day 🇬🇭. 64 years since Ghana broke free from British colonial authority.

This week I considered hiring a Virtual Assistant, using Calendly or even Superhuman to better handle my email inbox and calendar scheduling as I recognise it is taken hours out of my week.

Any recommendations, please let me know.

I appreciate all my female followers as we celebrate International Women’s Day today, #IWD2021.

Have a productive week.

Tomorrow, I will be joining my great friend Mandy Nyarko, at a Fireside Chat with Heartful Academy. Sign up FREE here.
