Madam Owusu urged young girls to build and draw strength from their capacity. She encouraged them to pursue higher education, and skills training, and to build their confidence on all levels so they could achieve their full potential.
She stressed on her source of motivation, hinting that some of her uncles who lived in Accra impacted her life. Part of the credit went to some colleagues at her workplace who were always on top of their game,creating safe space for women like her to realize their full potential and achieve their goals especially Mad Gifty Afenyi Dadzie. Mrs Owusu revealed that she drew most of her energy and passion from the former Liberian president, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and the Deputy Governor Bank Of Ghana.
To young girls, she advised they stay away from bad influence and corruptible company and put themselves in the forefront of change as way of investing in their future.

Pastor of Ramseyer Presby Church at Nkoranza, Rev Clement Afrifa has thrown his weight behind Former President John Dramani Mahama to campaign against any form of coup detat in the country.
According to the clergyman, if Coup D'etat had been profitable, Ghana wouldn't have transitioned to democracy.
He made this bold statement in an interaction with Owoahene Acheampong on Sompa 90.7 FM's Ade Akye Abia where he pressed that autocracy breeds monopoly and that there is no assurance that the soldiers who will seize power can make the country a better place for growth and sustainability.
"The former president is right. We can never replace democracy" Rev Africa echoed.
Two days ago, Former President, John Dramani Mahama urged Ghanaians to uphold the constitution and refrain from entertaining any intentions of endorsing a potential coup d’état in Ghana.
The Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress emphasized that despite the current economic challenges in the country, considering a coup should not even be the last resort. This call came in light of recent coups in West African countries such as Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea, and Niger.
