I was driving home from work one evening when my phone rang. I was around the big mosque at Kanda. It was Salwa. I picked up the call with a smile, “Hello, Salwa. How are you doing?” Her voice on the other end was soft, almost hesitant. “I’m alright, but I feel… not motivated. I need some encouragement,” she said. I paused for a moment, taken aback. This was Salwa—the brilliant pharmacy student who just finished, the young lady with so much potential, so close to completing her studies. What could possibly make her feel this way? I began gently, “Salwa, you are enough.” I reminded her of the incredible things she was doing, her hard work, and her bright future. As I spoke, I could hear her energy shift, like light breaking through a cloud. She began to sound like herself again. It was as if she had forgotten her worth, and all she needed was someone to remind her. Now, as I sit here, I struggle to process the news I just received. Salwa is gone. A motor accident has taken her from us. Rest well, Abubakari Salwa Suhuyini, PharmD Rest well. You were more than enough. You were a light. A brilliant pharmacy student and one of the passionate interns of the Akaya Initiative by Dr Khadija Owusu. You touched lives, even in your quiet moments of doubt. May your soul find peace. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/edwardasare1_i-was-driving-home-from-work-one-evening-activity-7287137662258278400-6yR-?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios
