"What's even more remarkable is their decision to support me, acknowledging me as one of their own. Their words of wisdom and encouragement will forever resonate with me. This experience reminds me of the importance of roots and community. I'm grateful for the love and support of my people, and I promise to continue making them proud. Proud to be from Assin Foso.
