My name is Rita Kusi, I am a marketing and HR
professional currently based in Ghana.
WHAT FUELS
ME?
I have the audacity to go after what I want,
when I want, and how I want. Faith and hope are what keep me going. I am not aiming for
excellence but to make an impact in the world and in people’s lives while
pursuing my passion(s) and doing all I can.
MY
GREATEST INFLUENCE
Who: My mother.
What: Age.
MY THREE
ROLE MODELS
My mother- She has endured so much but never
gave up. She only got stronger.
My grandmother- She is so strong yet so fragile,
so unbreakable, so unoriginal, so loving, so generous…
My dad- He has taught me the meaning of patience
and kindness.
THE NEXT
FIVE YEARS
No I don’t have an accountability manager. In 5
years, I envision myself operating a top marketing and HR firm across Africa.
CHALLENGES
WOMEN FACE IN AFRICA
One challenge is exposure. I believe us African
women are rapidly overcoming that for ourselves. We have been silence for so
long and taught to not be ourselves. African
women are overcoming that. We are speaking up,
sharing our stories, living our truth,
etc. I contribute by sharing my story and
mentoring those who are in need of it.
Second is finding an African man who is okay
with us living our truth and being our true selves. Strong, independent,
opinionated, and overly caring.
HOW DO I
UNWIND?
I like to work out, listen to music (lately,
especially while I work), talk to friends, and go out for a relaxing evening.

WHY SHOULD WOMEN IN AFRICA BE INSPIRED,
CELEBRATED AND EMPOWERED?
Because we can pretty much do it all! We can
truly make the world a better place.
IF YOU HAD
THE OPPORUNITY TO WORK WITH THE AFRICAN UNION?
Marketing, Promoting and Storytelling because
some of us still do not realize how important it is to let our voice be heard.
FINAL
WORDS
Live YOUR life however you choose and do not
conform to societies standards!
