Dancer, Lisa Naa Quama Darko, tenderly called Lisa Quama has explained why she chose to wander into dancing in spite of the fact that her parents are financially adequately light to cater for her needs.
She said in a interview on Joy Prime’s Changes show that, she has her own desires and didn’t have any desire to rely entirely upon her parents for help, adding that she needed to work and earn money without by herself to avoid being a ‘spoiled child.’
“My parents worked for their money so, I would have rather not been that spoilt child; I truly wanted to dance and didn’t have any desire to be punished,” she told Roselyn Felli.
As indicated by her, money was not her essential aim on the start since dance was less valued at that time.
In any case, she liked to join her colleague in performing at events without being paid.
She was enthusiastic about it and didn’t irritate her parents with her dancing ability since she was scholastically great. In this way, she set forth energy to succeed in all examinations to satisfy her parents.
“I was more of a hustler. Disregard my parents. At the end of the day, we’re alright. I would have rather not annoyed them with this dancing thing since I was shrewd in school. So they understood the way that I was getting good grades so I could do anything I desired to do in light of the fact that I was getting the grades for themselves and I could do the dance for myself.”
The dancer set aside her school ‘chop money’ to pay for dance lessons during vacation, permitting her to nurture and work on her finesse.
She still up in the air to purchase a car for her mom from the savings she made once her activities began generating income.
She made penances by wearing a same cloth more than once to prove her value to her parents, which she ultimately did, despite the fact that her mum already had a car.
“I didn’t ponder myself and used to save a great deal. I said it flippantly that I would involve this thing to buy a car for my mum. So at whatever point I got money, I would divide it into three; some for tithe, my bank account, and the one for the car.”
