A gospel musician and lecturer at Accra Technical University, Adeline Baidoo, has shared her incredible journey from hardship to empowerment.
Born in the village of Asuoabena-Nkwarteng in the Birim-North District in the Eastern Region, Adeline faced a challenging childhood marked by parental absence and maltreatment.
Moving between relatives, she experienced rejection when her estranged mother returned briefly but refused to acknowledge her publicly.
“I survived on a single meal every three days and endured maltreatment, yet I held on to my faith,” Adeline recounted.
Despite these challenges, she excelled academically, completing her education and earning a Master’s Degree from the University of Education, Winneba. She is currently a final-year PhD candidate in Arts and Culture at UEW.
Adeline’s teaching career spans all levels, showcasing her dedication as an educator and her passion for shaping lives. Her music career began in 2008 with her debut album, “Awuradze Agye Me,” followed by several other successful albums.
Her music reflects her life experiences and deep faith, resonating with audiences across Ghana and beyond.
However, Adeline’s personal life was not without struggles. She endured domestic abuse in her first marriage and faced financial exploitation in her second.
Despite these hardships, she found joy in motherhood, giving birth to her daughter, Adeodata Yehowa Ani Quansah, while pursuing her Master’s degree.
In addition to her music and academic career, Adeline founded the Ghana Women Forum, a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering women. The forum has quickly grown to include about 2,000 members and has garnered support from various influential figures.
