She spent 6 months learning and sharing her music and dance with her diverse counterparts from Ghana, Holland, England, Germany and Denmark.

During her time in Ghana, she was privileged to perform at the residence

of the former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and at the MASA International Festival in Abidjan, Ivory Coast as a dancer and singer under the Resident Company.

In 2000, she was picked to join the prestigious UCLA summer program in Media and Production in California, USA.
