Her passion for the prevention, awareness and treatment of breast cancer has earned her recognition in Ghana and globally as one of the champions advocating for the eradication of the disease. The frequent presentation of late-stage breast cancer, with its accompanying high mortality, gave birth to her passion for giving back through comprehensive education, awareness creation and free clinical screening. She believes education, early-detection measures and prompt action are the best protection we have. She is a humble role model and an inspiration to women and society.
