Meet the Mamas
Deborah Asmah, Seamstress (Cape Coast, Ghana)
“To me, prosperity is taking small steps toward happiness.”
Meet Deborah: For Deborah, success is incremental. She views her business as a seamstress as a series of small accomplishments that, after years of hard work, will lead her to prosperity. “Moving from one step to another is the key to my happiness, and happiness is my goal.” She pursued her dream of becoming a seamstress by attending a vocational school where she was able to develop many specialized techniques that helped to elevate her as a master seamstress. When not working and goal setting, Deborah enjoys banku and okru stew, her favorite Ghanaian foods. She encourages Americans and Europeans to try these foods as well, because “they will be surprised how delicious Ghana’s food is.”
“My proudest achievement since joining Global Mamas is the creative designs I’ve come up with for bags and dresses.”
