Doris spent 17 years living in the UK, a journey that shaped her family and career.
Doris met her husband through mutual friends, and together, they raised three children.
Doris gave birth to her first two children in Ghana before relocating to the UK, where she had her last child.
She entered the country with legal documents, determined to build a better future for her family.
In the UK, Doris started off braiding hair while pursuing her education in healthcare.
Her hard work paid off when she earned a certificate in healthcare and secured a job as a healthcare assistant.
She began her career in domiciliary care, providing essential services to clients in their homes.
Over time, she transitioned into a counseling role within the healthcare field, demonstrating her versatility and commitment to making a difference.
Her husband also contributed significantly, working in mental health and supporting the family’s goals.
Reflecting on her parenting journey, Doris observed a stark difference between raising children in Ghana and abroad.
“The kids I raised in Ghana are well-trained and calm,” she explained, adding that raising boys abroad comes with unique challenges.
Despite the struggles, Doris believes in the power of hard work and the opportunities available abroad.
“If you work hard, you can build your dream home back in Ghana. I encourage everyone to travel and seize opportunities when they come,” she said, inspiring others to pursue their goals with determination.
