Radio and TV personality Ohemaa Woyeje has emphasized the importance of women prioritizing their careers over marriage in situations where a choice must be made between the two.
She pointed out that many women have experienced setbacks in their professional advancement after getting married and taking on marital and parental responsibilities.
In an interview with Graphic Showbiz, Ohemaa stated her belief that a woman should not give up her career achievements simply to satisfy her husband. She stressed that marriage is only one part of a woman’s life and should not impede her professional growth and personal progress.
“Women could thrive with the right support system, even after getting married, and must not see marriage as a limitation to what they can offer. Some women quit their jobs after getting married, and others become less competitive after childbirth, but they must rise above that.
“We must not limit our abilities because of conflicting roles. We could equally utilise the right support systems that can keep us going while taking full responsibility for all aspects of our lives.
It’s difficult doing so many different things at the same time, but with determination, you can manage to find your way in outlining your schedules properly to fulfil your passion and meet all tasks,” she added.
Ohemaa Woyeje based her theory on previous experiences, saying when she was pregnant and her job responsibilities were altered without her input, it caused frustration and eventually led to her resignation.
However, she stayed firm in her resolve, emphasizing her commitment to juggling her career aspirations with her duties as a wife and soon-to-be mother.
