According to her, though �many people are afraid to take risks, it�s really important to understand that sometimes you need to take risk by starting at the bottom. When I think about me, I interned at so many places. I worked for free for so long and although it can be very challenging not having money on you, you still need to work for free because the experience; having other people know and see that you are committed, helps you move forward.� Speaking to citifmonline.com the beauty queen stated that �having your passion and putting everything that you can into it and being willing and able to start at the bottom is what it takes to build up.� According to her, internship was necessary to get one prepared when there were opportunities available. �You really need to think and reflect on who you are as a person and what your passion is, as well as what inspires and what motivates you,� she added. Meanwhile, Miss Osei who is in the country for a few weeks in collaboration with Next Wave, launched the first ever Innovation Fridays, a networking event for young professional women.
