How Ghana鈥檚 Miss Taxi Says No to Sexism
As a young girl Outlook Inspirations nominee Esenam was always challenging the norm. She set up a biscuit stall aged 14. Later in life she wanted to become a tipper truck driver but no one from this male dominated industry would train her. So Esenam took on another challenge, she set herself up as one of very few female taxi drivers in Ghana. She鈥檚 been running her business for 5 years. Although some clients refuse to get in the cab when they see she is a woman, many are delighted to be driven by her.
