I couldn’t find a job in the UK – Sister Derby

Singer Sister Derby returned to Ghana after struggling to secure employment in the UK despite having a master’s degree.

She lost a £700 internship and, despite numerous applications and interviews, couldn’t land a job.

Her professor suggested the UK’s recession limited job opportunities for non-citizens.

In January 2010, she decided to make a fresh start back in Ghana, flying home on one of the last Ghana Airwaves flights.
