Caroline Ackom is from the Volta Region of Ghana but lives in South Korea. She moved to an Asian country after marrying a South Korean man in Ghana.
Speaking on SVTV Africa, Caroline known popularly as Mama Caro revealed that she met her husband in Ghana, had a wedding here, and moved to South Korea for another in the mid-90s.
According to her, her wedding was the talk of the town. Many people did not believe that her husband’s parents had agreed to a wedding with a black woman.
“In the 90s, the blacks were not many, so life was difficult. They would point at me and shout, ‘that’s a black person.’ Others will also hide when they see you even though I was in the second capital,” she said on ‘Daily Hustle Worldwide’ with DJ Nyaami.
Mama Caro revealed that they met in a bus beaded to Aburi Gardens. Initially, he was embarrassed by him. However, he kept on persisting. Eventually, a Ghana-South Korea love was born.
“He wanted to get married in Ghana and South Korea as well. I’m the first Ghanaian woman who got married in South Korea. It had not happened before, so many Koreans were surprised because they did not like blacks at the time,” she added.
