The narrative of Bless, a fruit vendor who lives in the Accra neighborhood of Madina, illustrates the reality and sensation of things not going your way or as expected.

Bless, who as a little child wanted to be a nurse, grew up with the idea of having to work menial jobs to support herself.

In an interview with Eugenia Diabah on GhanaWeb TV's Everyday People, Bless disclosed that her family's financial situation prevented her from pursuing her passion of becoming a nurse.

“I completed JHS but was unable to continue because there was no money at home. No one could help with money or anything. I wanted to become a nurse but here I am today,” she said.

Bless went on to say that she has worked five jobs or more to support herself as an adult. She also mentioned that she used to work at a pub but had to leave due to male harassment.

“I worked at a bar for four months. I quit because the harassment from men was too much and I couldn’t bear them again,” she added.

Due to persistent sexual harassment by men, she left her employment as a bartender and is now a fruit vendor
