Accra Attorney Adventures

Within the last year, I've ' discovered ' a love for gardening. It started with wanting to add a little colour to our place.I'm proud to announce that I'm a flower mum. My babies are all doing well. Thank you. I love love love all my babies. I never imagined that a blooming flower would bring me so much joy or that my heart would break at the sight of a wilting flower. I promise, each flower has a personality...fiery, temperamental, attention seeker, fighter, sunny, you name it! Drama queen even. I love running out to work in the morning and pausing to take them all in. Waking up, Saturday mornings to full blooms, seeing the butterflies and sometimes the bees, come by to get a whiff and to steal glorious nectar.

All valid dreams as they represent the peculiar phases of my life. Two key determinants worth sharing though. Promise not to laugh at the first.

Saddled with a quartet of names, but I'm mostly known by Sena. Proud Gemini (great mind and mouth, whimsical, indecisive).. yeah whateverrrr!! Model daughter, cool sister, loyal friend, great wife...yep! I dare say so. Transactional lawyer - financial institutions, capital markets, financing, general corporate and commercial work: I got you, fam! I work with some of the coolest and smartest folks in the game - It truly is a privilege. I find that I love quite a number of things, including: gardening - flowers, music, food, cooking, reading and social media (Lord, help me).

Whoop! Whoop!! I finally got to doing it. Action! they say - and not words..lol  Happy to be back! Hope to carry you along this adventure called life. Stay with me on this. Scouts honour! You'll get a glimpse of the life and times of an Accra transactional lawyer pursuing happiness, purpose, success and excellence. Can one have it all? Well, we could at least try? Be inspired! xoxo
