In a recent interview with Nana Ama McBrown on Onua Showtime, Afronitaaa unveiled her ambitious dreams for the future, particularly her plan to establish a dance school for children
“My main aim is to put Africa out there and that’s one reason I’m called Afronitaaa. Other people should know about African culture. If they think of Africa, they should think of Ghana and Afronitaaa. Another aim is to start a dance school for children. I really love children and I think it’s from my mother,” she disclosed.
In the interview, Afronitaaa also took the opportunity to offer advice to parents.
Drawing from her own experiences, she passionately encouraged parents to embrace and support their children’s talents.
“If you have a child with a gift, make sure to nurture him or her. You never know where the gift would take you guys. Do not shun the child. Allow the child to follow that path. God gave the child that gift for a reason so make sure it gets nurtured. I also want to encourage all parents with disabled children to never look down on them,” she advocated.
Beyond her own aspirations, Afronitaaa’s journey is intertwined with that of her mentee, Abigail, the 2023 Talented Kidz winner.
The 8-year-old prodigy who has a hearing impairment has not only captivated audiences but also captured Afronitaaa’s heart.
“Abigail is an inspiration to me. I’ve never seen a child this passionate about dance. She can watch videos and begin to start dancing. She doesn’t care. I love the fact that she is passionate about dance. To find out that I am her role model just killed me,” she said
The bond between mentor and mentee shines brightly as Afronitaaa expresses her admiration for Abigail’s spirit
“I told myself that I’m going to help this girl because she is blessed. She is an amazing person. I just want to see her go higher and higher,” she mentioned in awe and excitement.
