In a bid to answer a question on what she had wanted to become in future whiles a child, she told Stacy Amoateng of the Restoration Show that she was not sent to school so she never had an idea of what she’d become in the future.

Maame Kumiwaa further explained that her father did not send her to school with the reason that women will still get married or be in the kitchen after school.

“My father said when a woman attends school, she’ll either take it to marriage or be in the kitchen but it is not like that now. If he was still alive, I’d have told him that the past is not like today because now what men can do, women can also do the same,” she told the narrated.

Meanwhile, she has recounted how she ended up in the American prison for being wrongfully accused of smuggling cocaine.

She has vowed never to travel to America again after the cocaine incident.
