“I wanted to be a lawyer but ended up being a carpenter” – Adzigbli Nana Ama Comfort (Ama Endorsed on social media)
Here’s her story as told by her in a QnA with Edward Asare
“I didn’t train to be a carpenter. My Dad was one and because I was Daddy’s girl I learned it from him. I was always with him whilst he was working.
As I grew up, I started making penny boxes and fixing broken tables, chairs and petty damages at home with him.
It was never something I wanted to do from childhood .I had always wanted to study law.
My Dad’s dying words to me affected me positively.
He said I will never be successful in any career aside carpentry .
I laughed and asked why.
He said I was born to lead the feminine generation into creativity.
I didn’t take his words seriously in the beginning. I tried modeling & acting after SHS but I was not earning as much as expected.
I had to take care of my family as the first child . Tried working with some TV stations as a presenter but didn’t work out.
That was when I remembered my Dad’s words all over again and accepted the challenge.
Now here we are. Bought a car from carpentry“
