Her name is known to everyone who took part in the 2018 edition of the Citi FM Heirtage Caravan. Fatima Wahab Babih is a native of Sierra Leone currently living in Baltimore Maryland, USA. She is a mother of four adults and has grandson.<\/p>\n

Fatimah is a doctoral student at Morgan State University currently working on a PhD in higher education leadership, focused on community colleges\/polytechnics.<\/p>\n

It seems at her age, she has a lot on her table, Fatimah is also founder and CEO of a nonprofit organisation focused on girls and women’s empowerment.<\/p>\n

For many on this year’s Heritage Caravan, the trip was about the adventure, tourist sites and what have you, but for the mother of four, she wished it was a medical prescription for her by her medical doctor.<\/p>\n

In her introductory message, she wrote, ” This trip should have been prescribed for me by my doctor, after a very hectic Fall semester, I headed to Sierra Leone where I launched our DIAMONDS Girls program”.<\/p>\n

She added, “I am grateful to my niece Fatima Adam Mahdi, who surprised me with this trip”.<\/p>\n

She continued,”It’s been an awesome experience.”<\/p>\n

“I am more in love with Ghana and its people now than I was before. I fell in love and adopted a few daughters and sons along on this trip. I love the mannerism of these young people and their zest.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The legacy of the fierce fights the people of the Gold Coast put up against the colonial masters is very evident in how Ghana is a little ahead of her neighbours in the Sub-region and beyond in the continent.<\/p>\n

It seems Fatima is going to be on the Heritage Caravan more often. She indicated, ” Watch out, you might see me here again in the near future”.<\/p>\n

In her closing remarks, she thanked Citi FM<\/strong> staff and her fellow Caravan riders for what she says is an educational experience that couldn’t have been gained in a classroom.<\/p>\n
