After six years of research and compilation of personal experiences among others, entrepreneur and Head of Media Relations and Marketing at Elec­troland Ghana, Adiza Ibrahim, has launched her book titled ‘Hey Diamond.’

The book has 17 chapters spread across 179 pages and aims to help shape young ladies who aspire to climb to the top.

Speaking at the launch last Friday, Adiza Ibrahim, who is also the founder of the Zongo Women Livelihood & Empow­erment Programme, said young ladies need to be intention­al about their quest to succeed in life.

Adiza Ibrahim said all women are diamonds and should note that dreams and aspirations are too hard to achieve, therefore, one needs to be intentional.

She stressed that after several years of engagement and entrepreneurship, she had always believed that the truth must lead, and the only way to speak to people’s conscience is to be truthful to them.

Making reference to her journey, Ms Ibrahim noted that she made use of op­portunities that came her way and prepared herself adequately for it all the time.

Against this backdrop, she urged young ladies to be ready and capable of deliver­ing when they are called upon.

The philanthropist said that even though she came from a priv­ileged home, she was intentional about her life and journey to succeed in life on her own.

She further stressed that “you have to be intentional to have a goal, you have to be intentional to be passionate about the goal and be determined to achieve it to its full success.”

“You’ve got to be intentional not to tow the lane that is not good; if I had led a wayward life the one you see on Tiktok or snap chat, I wouldn’t have been here speaking to you,” she added.
