I'm a PhD student at Trent University, Canada with a research focus on postpartum experiences of Ghanaian immigrant women moms in Ontario. I depart from damage- and deficit-based approaches, conscientizing the new moms to draw on the strength of their diasporic communities and the wisdom of traditional Ghanaian practices to improve their postpartum mental health experiences. My research interest areas are migrant women's health, gender and labour migration, and migration policy development. I hold MSc. Global Health from Uppsala University (Sweden), M.A. Social Protection from Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences (Germany) and BSc. Physiotherapy from University of Ghana. My past research explored the labour market experiences of Ghanaian family migrant women in Germany.
