Ghanaian counsellor and motivational speaker Charlotte Oduro has broken her silence following her divorce from Apostle Solomon Oduro, delivering a fiery and unapologetic message to critics and to women navigating similar paths.
In a video originally shared by Zionfelix and sighted by MyNewsGh, Charlotte made it clear that she’s not bowing to societal pressures or church expectations that seek to silence or shame her after the split.
“I’m a woman who will stand firm in who I am, and I still preach. I don’t give a heck who is against me. I didn’t die—I’m alive,” she declared boldly.
The outspoken counsellor positioned herself as a voice for women who refuse to let religion or culture crush their spirits. “I’m a testimony for women who didn’t allow society and the church to destroy them,” she said. “They may not accept you now, but with time, they will celebrate you.”
Addressing those who whisper and judge from afar, she continued, “You don’t need to explain yourself to anybody. Life is not in the hands of people—it’s in the hands of God.”
Charlotte also responded sharply to those mocking her while she continues to preach. “If I’m preaching and I hear women giggling at the back, I will shut you up within a minute. That’s who I am. You won’t distract me.”
Speaking with emotion and passion, she empathized with women weighed down by the shame of divorce. “Sister, I see tears in your eyes. You’ve allowed the voices of men to cripple you and sink into your heart—all because you are divorced. You divorced a man, not God. So what is wrong with you?”
Reflecting on her own experience, she added, “Do you think I wanted to end my marriage? Who wants that? No. But sometimes, it needs to happen. And if it happens—it has happened. Then you move on.”
