Media personality, Ohemaa Woyeje
Popular Ghanaian DJ and media personality Ohemaa Woyeje has advised women not to sacrifice their careers for marriage or motherhood.
She believes marriage should not stop a woman from career growth or self-improvement.
The broadcaster said this during an interview with Graphic Showbiz, where she observed that some women don't work as hard or do as well in their jobs after they get married and have kids.
Ohemaa Woyeje, real name Harey Adjoa Yeboah Asiamah Kusi, stated that despite the difficulties of managing a career and a marriage, women do not have to stop working just because they got married, even if it's to make their husbands happy.
"Women could thrive with the right support system even after getting married, and must not see marriage as a limitation to what they can offer. Some women quit their jobs after getting married, and others become less competitive after childbirth, but they must rise above that," she said.
She suggested they use support systems to ease the burden of managing both simultaneously.
"We must not limit our abilities because of conflicting roles. We could equally utilise the right support systems that can keep us going while taking full responsibility for all aspects of our lives. It's difficult doing so many different things at the same time, but with determination, you can manage to find your way in outlining your schedules properly to fulfil your passion and meet all tasks," she added.
