ABOUT MAAJOA ASABEA
I started my basic and junior high school education at Hecta international school and then continued on to Suhum Senior High School both in the Eastern Region of Ghana . I later studied Accountancy at the Accra Technical University . I am currently an entrepreneur , a mentor and a trainer . I am the creative Director of the ‘ Asabea Ayisi ’ brand , a reputable fashion accessories brand based in Accra , Ghana . I am also the founder of ‘ One girl One skill Africa ’, a non-government organization based in Accra that carries out skill training projects nationwide . These ventures have opened up amazing opportunities for me as well . I was a participant of the Young African Leadership Initiatives ( YALI ) fellowship in March 2017 , selected as a Youth Ambassador by the US Global Leadership Coalition ' s Entrepreneurship Challenge held in Accra in 2016 and also listed as part of 30 Young Achievers in 2016 by New Accra . In all its been a great journey so far I recently won the Fashion Personality of the year at the 2017 Africa Youth Awards
WHY ACCESSORIES MAKING ? It was purely out of passion . Though I was already in tertiary studying to be an accountant to work in a bank like my father , passion and talent for making DIY crafts drove me to learn everything about the fashion industry and pursue it . The ‘ Asabea Ayisi ’ Brand started while I was still a student in the Polytechnic . pG . 18 : Inspirer Magazi
