According to her, the job was restricting her from doing God’s work so she asked her mother if she could quit since she is actively involved in church activities.
She explained:
“When I started this, whenever I asked for permission to leave for church activities, they didn’t understand. When you are going, they always question you. Looking at the zeal and passion I have for the things of God, I didn’t want anything to distract me so I told my mum that the woman doesn’t understand my calling. I told her that I want to stop the work.
“My mum said that it was okay if I stopped but I would have to enter fashion designing. You have to learn something. So I had to shift my course. God was so good to me and my mum was really supportive. This is what God is doing through the voice and gifting he gave me”.

She further added:
“My producer, Shadrach Yawson, had told me a week before that Ewura Abena had sent him a song and it’s powerful. I asked that he send it to me and after listening, I reached out to my husband that we need to work on it quickly. He was in agreement provided I had gotten a sign from God. Everything was fast. I used 2 days to record the song after which my producer started the mixing. We put everything together and this is where God has brought us”.
