Racheal Wyettey Writes

"I desire and prefer to do things on my own and I believe every woman must try to do same." - Abigail Dwomoh Nyarko Abigail Dowmoh Nyarko is a social entrepreneur, secretary and human rights advocate. She is the CEO of Biggles Impact Foundation and the Ashanti Region Ambassador for Youth for Human Rights Africa. She is also into volunteering, writing and modeling. If there are two things Abigail is know for, it is her passion for volunteering (effortless to better a life or situation) and her willingness to never give up even when she fails. She believes that "when you fail, your failure must be a strength to others but not a weakness". Being responsible for your own needs, extending help to others and embracing failure as a strength, not weakness; isn't this awesome? Abigail is my damsel on fire for this episode. Be on fire!

"I believe in helping your  fellow to get there and she will pull you up there too." - Naa Anyeley Sowah Naa Anyeley Sowah, also known as Meredith, is a model, dancer, MC and a volunteer. Meredith believes that, as damsels, we are supposed not just to love each other but as well believe in and support each other. She is aware of the fact that we all have flaws but she is also aware that no matter what, "love, believe in and support for" should not be a lack in our lives. As a damsel who is still pursuing her dreams in life, she is bold to be who she is and do what she wants to do. She is also ever ready to accept challenges that brings the beat out of her, try new things, and support initiatives that impact lives. Being your true self despite what others say, believing in and supporting other ladies, and trying new things as a way of pursing your dreams, is she not on fire? Meredith is our damsel on fire for today. Be on fire!!!

"Sacrifice, work hard, focus, learn, be nice; it does magic." - Edem Roberta Abbeyquaye Edem Roberta Abbeyquaye is a multimedia journalist, photographer and a volunteer. She is also a human rights advocate, speaker, content producer, and heyye, she's on a mission to be build a tompire (lol) Edem believes that " fulfillment comes in doing things you love " and so she is addicted to learning new things (including skills), showing love and support to those who need it, pursuing her dreams and doing whatever she finds herself doing well (working hard). As a damsel, Edem is so much on fire and just by meeting her, I tell you, you will be empowered to be on fire too. She is my damsel on fire for today. Want to know how to be on fire? Wait expectantly for my book, # DearDamsel .  It will be released on March 31 2018; you can pre order by contacting 0554515688.

"If I could be my dream woman: I would be an example and a source of inspiration to all the young people around me; always willing to teach, mentor and encourage. My dream woman knows that she's far from perfect but at the same time she is a leader in her field and is able to inspire and influence." - Auguster Asantewa Boateng Auguster Asantewaa Boateng is a broadcast journalist, human rights advocate, social entrepreneur, sanitation reporter, mentor and life coach. She is the founder and convener of The Butterfly Effect, 2017 Pro-Volunteer youth leader of the month August, mentor to participants of Face of GirlEmpowered, and she is very passionate about sustainable development. If Auguster is not on fire, what is she on? This is what being on fire is all about; daring to empower others to assess their rights, caring for the needy and being who you dream of becoming. Auguster is my damsel on fire for today. Be on fire!

"Being different isn't bad. It means you are bold enough to be yourself." - Fella Makafui Fella Makafui is a damsel who seems to know what the game is about; she has discovered herself, her purpose and the kind of world she feels comfortable in, and she's on a mission to create who she yearns to be. Fella is an actress, brand ambassador, entrepreneur and a philanthropist. She acknowledges the fact that "our generation gives up way too fast and way too easy" and she's determined to be the unique. She is living and pursuing her dreams;  making things happen, establishing businesses, impacting into lives, giving back to society and presenting herself in a way that gets everyone talking, yet pays no attention to what the talk is about. Isn't this what being on fire is all about? Breaking limitations, daring to be different and living the life you dream of despite the negativities and pressure from the world. Fella is a damsel on fire; my damsel on fi...

"Who is a damsel?" the now exceptionally beautiful damsel I've grown to address as my little sister asked with charm exhibiting itself through her smiles. Deelia is one shrewd girl I loved so much. I was a bit surprised when she asked me that question considering the fact that she is always disturbing her dictionary. "Is she kidding me? She don't know who a damsel is? Or she is just asking because of the title of my first book, Dear Damsel ?" I asked myself in thoughts as she looked on with an expectant expression. "According to the dictionary, a damsel is a young unmarried woman ", I replied her with a teasing smile. " Oh okay. You were the first person I heard that word from, that's why I decided to ask you. At least, now I know I am a damsel." She confessed. But the question is, does being an unmarried young woman make you a damsel? Well, its a yes according to language (dictionary) but in reality, being unmarried doesn't ...

It pays to make a soul smile, I tell you. Sometimes, the kind words we say, the little support we give, the love we share, the comfort we give, our effort to ease the pain others go through, our quest to make someone happy; goes a long way, a very long way to brighten up a life, save a soul or change lives in a way we never imagined. A friend, sibling, colleague or even a mere stranger, needs to smile everyday. Make it a priority to make at least a single soul smile each day. Any day Anytime Anywhere Make a soul smile It doesn't matter how Feed a tummy Ease a pain Say kind words Just do it anyway Brighten up a life ©Rachealwyettey

I'm glad we both arrived on this land known as 2018 and I specially welcome you. I know you've set entirely new dreams for this year and its my prayer that all of your dreams will become realities; every bit of them. However, I inspire you to refire the goals you misfired last year; you can't continue dreaming when we failed with living previous ones. Yes! Do well to ponder over the failed dreams, probe them further and figure out how best you can achieve them this time around. So while you focus on the new dreams, remember the old dreams you failed to achieve. Also, don't just dream, put on an extra effort to achieve them. I believe you will end this year with great celebration because of your achievements. You're blessed! Happy New Year!

I'm glad you are excited December is finally here and I'm glad Grace brought you to the last month. But the question is, now that December is here, what next? 2017 has been a wonderful ride so far but how great your year was is determined by how it ended. This is why you have to make sure you make everyday of this month count, just to make your year a perfect one. The following are few ways to make your year amazing in this last month. Refire the goals you misfired . Before the year began, you had a lot of dreams you wanted to achieve before the year comes to an end but unfortunately there are some dreams that you failed to achieve. That is fine, it is never too late, you can achieve some this month. Refire the goals you misfired or take steps to achieve them in the coming year. Touch a life . This month, show love and support to those who need love and lack support. Say kind words, help when you can and do something to put a smile on a face. There's no better way...

When you reach your hall That very hall of maximization You will fall Fall for transformation So when you fall Don't shiver Don't quiver Just stay calm In order to receive the balm So that your scar Can turn into a star The star that you are The star that shines Way beyond darkness Don't shiver When you fall When you fall Don't remain there Though the wound hurts Just apply the balm and Rise again Rise and take over ©Racheal Wyettey. This poem empowers you to rise up after falling. Its a reminder that falling is inevitable because its part of the transformation process. If you felt inspired, do share to inspire others. Comments are welcome.

Dear friend,  If you can’t PROMOTE me,  don’t DEMOTE me.  My mum once said,  “if you need promotion, join the ship of friendship, it is the only ship for true promotion.  This has opened my understanding to the truth that, friends are supposed to  promote  each other, not to  demote  each other. Friends are the only ones who are tasked to genuinely promote without any expectations of reward. Aside friends, anyone else who does that does it because of what they will get in return.  Unfortunately, this truth has been covered. Friends of today wishes the downfall of each other. Come to think of it, a friend who tries to bring you down, is that one too a friend? A friend who will only help you rise when she will benefit, is that one too a friend? A friend who will recognize the star in you but do nothing to let the world see but rather do unnecessary things like joking and gossiping with you, is that one too a friend? A friend who will wa...

"Truth" is one thing can't be hidden and the truth is, "Whatever is done in love is done well".  Vincent Van Gogh said it right when he said, "Whoever loves much, performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well." He couldn't have said any better, and I wholeheartedly buttress him on that, as his quote isn't just deep or true, it as well practical, and most of us are living testimonies to that. Many at times, when we find ourselves doing things we are not passionate about, we don't do it well. Not because we can't do it well or don't want to do it well, but because we are not doing it with joy or with all our will. While in junior high school, I was well known for doing a number of things including reading, writing, reciting poems, dancing and acting. I was also known to be very good in art related subjects such as English Language and  Social Studies. I wasn't known for doing all these j...

In today's world, spending time alone is a difficult task for most young people. We are either on the phone (social media), with friends or doing something entirely different. However, spending time alone is very essential and healthy, and I love doing it for numerous reasons.  One reason why finding solitude excites me is the fact that it aids me to get things done.  Yes, I get things done. Sometimes, the list of things I need to get done becomes longer and longer, and it seems the words are more the action. This is as a result of stress and pressure from people and daily activities. But when I am alone, I am able to figure out, write down, plan and actually get things done. It always works so to get things done I seek solitude. Whenever I spend time with myself, I have the freedom to be me, to think me and to do me.  There's no pressure on how well I perform and no instructions. My thoughts, ideas, words and all movements are totally free from those in my...

So everyone encounters bad moments. Moments when life punches you with real hard blows; when it pours down storms or stones instead of rain; when the tears just can’t stop flowing and when your head can’t stop spinning. Yes, those moments are moments when life frowns at you and I mean real frown – one that hastens ageing. Trust me on this,  no one is an exemption when it comes to such moments. Everyone encounters it at least thrice in life. They get to that junction where all they feel like is giving up. Where their vision becomes blur, they become very weak and dark cloud is all that surrounds them. Where the only strength they think they have is one for giving up. If you ever find yourself in such a moment, tell me, will you return to where you started from,  remain where you’ve gotten to or keep moving towards your dreams?  Then again, wait a moment. There comes another hour in life when beautiful moments arrive – when you can’t stop smiling for a second. Yes,  th...
