Yvonne Okoro Inspires youths with her personal life experiences.

The award winning actress and entrepreneur visited OrphanAid Africa’s young adults at the Young Adults Support Services Ghana (YASS Ghana) premises at Madina in Accra on Friday August 22 afternoon.

OrphanAid Africa is a non-profit organization developing programs and projects to help vulnerable children and their families in Ghana.

The NGO also strengthens families and communities so they can care for their own children.

The YASS program provides services and support to young adults transitioning from care into adulthood through life skills education and career development services to create better opportunities for success.

The actress gave an inspiring speech to encourage the youths. Read below.

“There’s something I learnt which is letting your imperfections shape you into being almost perfect or perfect in human eyes. No matter what career path you choose, people would come at you with full force.

People would pull you down because it is in our nature as Human Beings to criticise and to remember the bad that others do, but there is the point where you need to keep your focus and work harder.

You can choose to let people get at you or you could make your mind up to succeed regardless.

The truth is, some of the things people say would be true and constructive; but develop an ear with filter. Filter out those that do not seek to grow you and take on constructive feedback. I challenge you to do this,”
