In a social media post celebrating her new degree, Mrs. Mogtari sends a powerful message: “Need a motivation boost? Here it is! Remember, it’s not just about talking about your dreams – it’s about taking action.” This message, has resonated deeply with Ghanaians, particularly women who see Mrs. Mogtari as a role model for leadership and defying limitations.
In Mrs. Mogtari’s view, success is not merely about accolades or titles; it is about the journey of self-discovery and personal growth. As she celebrates her latest academic milestone, she does so not only for herself but for all those who have supported and believed in her along the way.
