My mom is my rock; I depend on and look up to her for many things. My Mom: • Style Icon • Beauty Pageant Winner • Joy FM Star • A Twin Mom • Career Mother Since I was a little girl, I have always looked up to my mom as my idol just like she looked up to my grandmother Sweet Gloria as her idol. I have always seen my mom as a loving, kind, and successful woman. Throughout my life she has always taught me that to become the woman that she is today, there are many sacrifices she’s made in life, which included leaving Ghana as a journalist and coming to the United States to fulfill other career dreams. Mymomismy rock; I dependonand look up to her for many things. Throughout her life she has done so many amazing things and has been there for my brother and I. I am so proud of my mom for the many things she’s accomplished including being a second runner up in Miss Ghana Beauty Pageant in 1995. She was also Miss Eastern Region that same year. It is one of my top goals to contest in a beauty pageant one day just like my mom and grandmother. Mom, I love you so much. Thank you for always being there for me. As you turn 50, I hope you achieve all the goals that you want to reach. You are now another year closer to retirement – enjoy!
