Ghanaian dancer Lisa Quama recently shared a story from her school days about how she faced suspension for making a dance video in her school uniform.
In a bid to promote Nigerian singer Teni’s song ‘Billionaire,’ Lisa was asked to create a dance video in her uniform. Excited about the opportunity, she agreed without considering the potential consequences of posting the video on social media.
Unfortunately, a few days later, the school authorities came across the video and issued Lisa and her colleagues a six-month internal suspension with hard labor. Reflecting on the incident, Lisa shared, “Back then, dance was not respected.
It was on a Saturday, so when the headmaster found out, he called me out during our Monday assembly, and I was the entertainment prefect at the time. So I was suspended internally with my friends and was tasked to fetch 50 buckets of sand every day.”
Despite enduring the punishment for a week, some of Lisa’s male colleagues also faced the same penalty but unofficially stopped, leaving the boys to complete the work.
Fast forward to today, Lisa Naa Quama Darko, as she is now known, has become one of the most recognized and celebrated alumni of the school.
She mentioned in an interview on Joy Prime’s Changes that her presence at the school attracts many JHS students to enroll due to her influence.
