‘Don’t try to be superwoman’ – Naa Ashorkor shares inspiring message to women

To celebrate women on International Women’s Day, Ghanaian actress and television host, Naa Ashorkor Mensah-Doku has shared a belated message.

In a message titled ‘Being a woman is hard’, the Asaase Radio host, shared an insightful message on the challenges women go through to maintain a career and home.

She shared on her social media pages

We have been constantly told that we can do all things, be all that we want to be, thrive, succeed and be superwomen. All good.

What we’re not told is that at some point, we’d have to choose between handing our 3-month-old to a nursery teacher at 6 am & returning to work so that we are not passed over for promotions, that we’d be sitting in major meetings while lactating and have milk dripping down our stomachs, that there’d be many times when we will question our choices, we will cry in the toilet and wipe our faces and face the world. While the whole time having to endure snide comments about our bodies.

If you decide not to have children or haven’t had them yet, it’s probably worse. A friend of mine battling PCOS was once told that the reason she didn’t get a job was that they were concerned she might have children one day and they didn’t need the “inconsistency the mothers bring”
Damned if we do, damned if we don’t.
This thing is tough.
Yes, it’s a phase, it’d pass.
But until then, take care of yourself, you deserve a life of goodness.

Don’t try to be superwoman.
Fun fact? You don’t have superpowers! You’re a human being.
Ask for help.
Accept the help.
Find your people.
Support is important.
Spend some of that money on yourself, you too deserve good things.

Ryan Ofei Sings Open The Heavens On Limitless Worship: Accra

Published

Ryan Ofei

Ryan Ofei’s voice sounds like God made him solely to praise His name. Thus, it should come as no surprise that Ryan turned down football scholarships in favour of ministering the word of God through his music. In a short period, the Ghanaian/Canadian worshiper has built an incredible repertoire that can only be proof of God’s grace upon his life. Ryan Ofei’s singles (‘No Limits’ & ‘Jehova’) as well as his debut solo project (David’s Heart) have touched souls across continents and led to tours in Europe, North America & Africa. Ryan’s contributions to Maverick City Music, a group he joined in 2021 as a songwriter & performer, has led to several Grammy nominations and a Grammy win. UK Rapper, Stormzy quite recently co-signed Ryan by performing a cover of Ryan’s “Jehova” song at Montreaux Jazz Festival.  ‘Limitless Worship: Accra’is Ryan Ofei’s second solo project and an ode to the Ghanaian roots through which God has blessed his life.

‘Limitless Worship’ opens with the uplifting ‘Hail The Name’ where Ryan Ofei’s voice beams with joy as he tells you to “lift up your eyes, look at the king, isn’t he beautiful?” A question that needs no answering. The chorus of voices that join him to sing “Yahweh” in the hook only heighten the feeling of abundance and beauty that fills you when the song starts. On ‘Amen (Wo Awie)’ Ryan praises God for fulfilling His promises to his servant. Ryan weaves his lyrics beautifully in English and closes it off in Twi on the hook. Ryan and his chorus of beautiful voices belt “Wo Awie, asem a wo kaa yɛ no, bɔhyɛ a wo hyɛɛ me no” which loosely translates to “the promises you made me, you have fulfilled them.” Ghanaian gospel stalwart Joe Mettle also lends his voice in praise with Ryan. More than halfway into the song, it switches into a powerful proclamation of unwavering belief in the promises of God which is also reflected in a switch in instrumentation that shows the intentionality with which Ryan creates music. With 5 songs and clocking in at around 30 minutes, Limitless Worship is a spirit filled showcase of Ryan Ofei’s growth in God and in musical ability. It is a wonderful listen and guaranteed to bring listeners closer to God.

‘Limitless Worship: Accra’ was recorded live in Ghana. It is Ryan Ofei’s first live recording and features elements of African worship blended with contemporary Christian music.

Limitless Worship: Accra’ is now available on all streaming platforms here: https://platoon.lnk.to/limitless-worship-accra
