Ghanaian actress and former Guinness world record contender, Adu Safowaah, has advised Ghanaians, especially the youth, to be intentional about their appearance and the message they communicate with their appearance.
According to her, a person’s appearance and outlook contribute largely to the perception people have of them and how they will choose to relate to them.
“People judge based on what they see. God only provides help through men, and when you appear before someone, they assist you based on how you look.
"What kind of assistance do you think you can get from someone if you have multiple piercings and tattoos all over your body. Let’s look at it from this perspective: if you were an employer, would you employ someone with paintings and piercings all over their bodies?” Adu Safowaah said this in a video shared on Instagram.
The actress acknowledged that a lot of people may disagree with her but stressed that the most efficient and premiere way a person can make their value is through their appearance.
She said, “Let’s be truthful; in life, your value is mostly tied to your appearance, so let’s be careful about how we behave and carry ourselves out there. If we think about our present, and its impact on our future, we will be careful with how we behave.”
Adu Safowaah recently completed a Guinness World Record attempt for the longest speech by an individual, lasting 130 hours and surpassing the current record of 90 hours.
