She says when she closes from work, she has to look for a place around her barbering shop and pass the night.

Narrating her ordeal to GhanaWeb’s Victoria Kyei Baffour, she disclosed how thieves stole some of her working tools as well as clothes when she was allowed to sleep in the shop where she currently works.

Peace also wishes to acquire a barbering shop in her name, as she believes that would give her a better life.
