Undeterred by this setback, Afua expressed determination to make another attempt, drawing inspiration from Ghana’s national football team, the Black Stars, who persevere despite challenges on the field.
She likened her persistence to that of presidential candidates who continue campaigning after electoral defeats, emphasizing that setbacks are not reasons to abandon her aspirations.
