I’ll be true to myself and what I believe in.
I will be who I am not who someone else thinks
I should be. I’ll hold tight to the things I’m all
about– like friends and dancing. And I’ll stay
away from yawa things I know I’m good without
– like backstabbing and smoking, because
knowing what’s my thing and what’s not my thing
helps make me who I am. I will make choices that
are true to me. I will find my SKY.

Hey Kiddos! Being an adult is so cool but the
realities will have you missing childhood moments
like vacations and fun fairs.
Also, adulting is not magically going to give you
everything you want. It comes with a lot of work.
Managing home, work, finances and relationships
will have you wishing for the freebies you had in
your teen years. Enjoy your no bill paying years as
much as you can and have fun creating memories
with your friends.
The trips to the salon and having your own money
to become a boss chick will come eventually. Life
comes in stages so learn to appreciate and enjoy
each phase. Make the most of today.
I’ve been on planet earth for a little over 24 years
now and I must say, WHAT A TRIP, ei! I have explored
and worked in biochemistry and marketing.
Looks bebree right? Well, adulting is full of
opportunities for grabs and I have grabbed mine!
I got my first job as a digital marketer, and it was
so much fun. Las las, I ended up as a social media
manager for our very own SKY Girls.
So, when I post, you people should comment oo
yooo. Be excited for the numerous opportunities
adulting will offer you to explore!

Adulting na scam anaa? We asked some of your favourite Big
Sisters how Adulting has been treating them and this is what
they had to say! Fun fact, adulting dey jorm if you get all the
correct gist and tips!
So, read and jot things down, cos you’re well on your way to
adulthood hahaha.
Hey girls, it’s Shaaiba your resident cool big
sister. You know how somehow, we all believed
that once we turn 18, we can finally become
independent, haha.
I believed it too, but you start planning your
own birthday party, and deciding on your
own dinner. Start saving now cuz you don’t
automatically become rich as an adult. I know
I used to believe that too.
Peer pressure doesn’t end with being a
teenager, even adults feel it too so the trick is
to always remember who you are.
Oh did I mention, you can travel on your own?
It’s fun on this side, promise!

Afronitaaa
I know most of you are wondering; is Afronitaaa
an adult or not? Well, I’m 19 so ….
Adulting dieeerrrr it’s all about planning.
You have to plan your week, if you’re working,
schooling, hustling, everything some, otherwise
you’ll keep making the same mistakes.
It’s fine to make mistakes and learn from them,
I ’m still learning small small. But no one is really
pampering me anymore and I miss the soft life.
Spend time on yourself sis and give yourself
treats from time to time aka Twa W’anum.
Cheers!

Sis, see, sometimes, we
end up in situations and
we’re like “who koraa sent
me”. Eii, sometimes real
life stories look like a movie
because “how did we end up
here?” Let’s hear some gist
from our sisters wai.
Wahala is real!
In JHS I was a volleyball star. My team won
a match because of me so my coach asked
me to play again the next day. I didn’t go to
play because I had planned an outing with
my girls during school hours ooo, hmm.
We prepared jollof rice and we enjoyed paa.
By the time we returned to school, news
had spread that my friends and I had left
campus. Oh Charley, when the teachers saw
us p3, they took us to the headmaster and
we were given internal suspension. Awww,
Ghana jollof nti – MKHKYD?

Stories
My friend’s mother planned a party for us, but
I didn’t tell my parents about it;
I knew they’d definitely say NO because the
location was far from us. Come and see my
shouting when I realized that my mother was
going for a funeral that same day! I attended
the party with my lil sis and OMG it was so
lit!!! We set off for home around 4pm and
some traffic bi paa, ei meseee I nearly cried.
We got home around 7pm and my parents
were busily searching for us and because
my phone was off they couldn’t reach me. I
started crying and I apologized to my parents
for what I did, my sister also pleaded on my
behalf and after everything was settled my
mum pronounced that I won’t go anywhere in
December. Sisters December paa ooo. If you
have a story like mine, WKHYKYD?
Zormelo Benedicta
It was my first time experiencing
“Our Day” in the new school I had
been transferred to and a friend said
we should go to the mall. We were so
happy to leave the school without being
caught. So, when we got to the mall, we
bought some snacks, food and did some
window shopping.
Unfortunately, a teacher saw us
returning to school and she questioned
us and punished us to sweep the
Primary 1, 2 and 3 classrooms. It didn’t
end there oo. She called my mum and
reported me. So, my mom seized my
phone, and I was grounded. You can
imagine a vacation without your phone,
well, I learnt my lessons.

It’s official Sis, you’re a big girl now! We know the whole
“period” thing is bebere bi. From pimples to cramps to “I want to
eat yoghurt and kosua ne meko!” Everybody is saying their own
thing about how you need to be careful blah, blah, blah. Chale!
This was literally me when I had my first period but along the
way, I got the hang of it and learnt a few tips. Don’t panic.
Big Sis Dzifa has got you!
HOW TO WEAR PADS
Pads are absorbent materials made from cotton
and plastic used during periods to prevent you
from staining your clothing. They can be thin for
when you’re not bleeding much and regular or
thick for heavier bleeding (“maxi” or “super”
pads).You should use a size that feels comfortable
for you.
First, peel the paper covering at the back of the
pad and stick the pad to the inner part of your
pantie. Then, peel the small paper off the front
of the pad. This releases the sticky wings of the
pad. Wrap the wings; one on either side of the
middle part of your pantie. Check to make sure the
pad is sitting properly and there you go!
PERIODS & EMOTIONS
Herh! Period mood swings are on a whole other
level. One-minute you’re laughing gidigidi, the
next you’re sad, then all of a sudden, you are
craving food. Like what is this? Then there’s
PMS! PMS is an abbreviation for Pre-Menstrual
Syndrome which are group of symptoms that
you experience days before your period starts.
Most girls have PMS and symptoms differ from one
girl to the other or from month to month.
So, the next time you are feeling down during
your period, just try walking, running, riding
a bicycle, or dancing along to your favourite
SKY Girls’ song! Eat less sugar, eat foods
rich in omega 3 fatty acids like fish and
drink pleenttyyyyy water.
CALCULATING
YOUR PERIOD
The average menstrual cycle is 28 days
for most girls but not all girls. To calculate
your unique cycle, count 28 days from the
first day of your last period(the first day
when bleeding starts). Example: If you
started bleeding on 1stst March, 2023,
your next menstrual period should be
about 29th March, 2023. Easy- peasy
right? You can use phone apps that aid in
tracking and monitoring your period too!

Sisters! This has been a
fun period chat! Know
that you are not alone
in this. Just follow these
tips and you will do great
sweeties. Catch you later,
Your SKY Big Sister Dzifa.
Wrap your pad well with
items such as toilet paper,
tissue, or other material
before discarding them. Do
not flush menstrual products
down the toilet as these can
choke the drains.
Wear lightweight,
breathable clothing
(such as cotton
underwear). Tight fabrics
can trap moisture and
heat, allowing germs
to thrive and promote
infections and odour.
6
SELF GROOMING
Good hygiene is a must to keep you smelling great
and feeling confident during your period.
Check out these tips!
Wash your hands before
and after changing your
pad to prevent spreading
of infections.
Be sure to change
your sanitary pads at
least every 5 hours, no
matter how light the
flow. Change them more
frequently if your period
is heavy.
Use unscented toilet
paper, tampons, or
pads. Scented hygiene
products can irritate
the skin and have an
impact on your natural
pH balance.
Keep your genital area clean by bathing
at least twice daily. Wipe from the front
of your body toward the back, not the
other way. This prevents the spread of
infections. Use only water to rinse your
vulva. Remember: the vagina is a selfcleaning
organ.
7Drink lots of water. This
can help wash out your
urinary tract and help
prevent infections like
vaginal candidiasis.

Hello Sharks!!! This game is for you and your friend,
your squad and another squad or only you – a solo vibe.
Ready? Let’s see how fast your brain works!
A father and his son
are in a car accident.
The father dies instantly,
while the son is rushed to
the hospital for emergency
surgery. The surgeon takes
one look at the boy and
says, “I can’t operate on
him, he’s my son!” How is
this possible? …………
I am not alive, but I
grow; I don’t have
lungs, but I need air;
I don’t have a mouth,
but water kills me.
What am I? ……………
What starts with an “e,”
ends with an “e,” but
only contains one letter?
………..
You see a boat filled with
people, but there isn’t a
single person on board.
How is that possible?
Because …………
Imagine being surrounded
by sharks in the middle
of the ocean. What would
you do? ………
We have mixed up the answers so have fun figuring them out!
Fill in the blanks with the correct answer. You can send us a picture of your
score via Instagram or Facebook @skygirlsgh. All the best!
Hollup, hollup, hollup Sis! You’re
probably thinking this article is about
doing press ups, doing uncountable
squats or running to Cóte d’Ivoire and
coming back all sweaty right? Hold
that thought because you’re about to
discover way too fun and way too lit
simple ways of being fit and staying
healthy without breaking your bones,
hahaha.
3
Please stop
throwing out
veggies and
fruits from your
meals. Fruits and
Vegetables are
the best tasting
medicine you’ll
ever get.
Quiet Time! You see
sometimes it feels like so
much is happening in your
head? Take a moment
5
to relax and take deep
breaths. Close your eyes
and imagine everything is
fine. Imagine the best of
each situation, imagine
being the best, you
can even travel in your
imagination to any part of
the world. This will leave
you feeling so good about
yourself.
Your health is wealth, Sis! I
repeat, your health is your
Sika, Kudi, L’argent, Shika,
add your own - lol! Take
care of your body. It’s the
only place you have to live.
Laughter! Yes! Ha-ha-ha is a way of
1
being healthy! Laughter reduces
pain, makes us happier, helps relax
our nerves to cope with difficult
situations and connect with people!
Next time you’re texting laughing
emojis, don’t do it with a straight
face, lol!
2
4It’s no lie that about 70%
of the human body is
made of water. Water is
essential to your body
so make sure to drink
lots of it. Ghana ay3 shi
ooo and it keeps getting
hotter so make sure you
always drink water.
Physical Education is
one of the best times in
6
school because you get
to engage in an activity
that helps you to remain
energized and keeps you
healthy. So, next time the
bell rings for P.E or Fun
and Games, make sure
you head out and gain
some energy.
Fun Dancing! Doesn’t it seem
like a lot of dancers are
confident? The trick is; keep
moving, enjoy the music and
enjoy the moment. You can
even dance offbeat.
Try any of these and
let us know how it’s
going by sharing
your experience

QUIZ MISTRESS, NSMQ
Hello SKY girls! My friends used to call me Miss
Fish way back in school but I guess it’s because
I’m a shark, hahaha! I’m a Physician Specialist,
Endocrinologist and Diabetes Specialist.
My thing is not giving up, and telling lies is
yawa for me!
There’s motivation for you to do science
because in our time, we didn’t have a lot of
information on the internet or phones and
computers for studies but now, more girls
are doing science and they are excelling!
There’s nothing like old knowledge, things
keep changing so the learning continues. Ask
questions when you need to, you won’t know if
you don’t ask!
#ICanSTEM #YouCanSTEM
Hey girls! I’m a data scientist!
My thing is spending time with my
squad and what’s not my thing will
be people who don’t allow me to stay
true to myself! I love Tech because
it helps to make life easier. With
technology, we get to build apps that
connect us with our friends and
family all over the world.
Speak up and ask questions and
don’t let anyone at all (neither
friends, family nor teachers) tell
you math, science or engineering
is hard for girls. You’ll need these
to venture into Tech. Nothing is hard
once you explore it and put your mind
to understanding it.
#GirlInTech
Hey Sistas! It’s me again and as usual I do
it because I can! I’m an auto technician, a
biker and if you like a “fitter”, lol.
My thing is living in the moment and I
don’t have regrets.
There’s an old physics class term that says
“change is constant “ and yes, the cars on
our roads now are driven by technology
and so far as the tech world is advancing,
we have to keep up. Never think a woman
can’t get her hands under a car or do
repairs. Your life is a vehicle, drive it to
the point where you are most content!
#BikerGirl
Hi SKY Girls! I’m the Dean of the School
of Engineering Sciences at UG-Legon and
your current quiz mistress. Don’t worry, I’m
not here to quiz you, haha. My thing is
excellence; knowing what is expected and
doing it to the best of your abilities.
Not my thing is wastefulness.
Math answers simple questions like why
we carry babies at our backs and how we
build our houses. Math is an extremely
cool language we learn to express what
is happening around us in the form of
mathematical equations to solve problems.
Be part of people creating the world
of the future!

What’s Up SKY Sisters???
Let me tell you a tale of how I joined SKY,
packaged my talent and cashed out with
my craft! Y3nk)!
Let’s rewind to when I was 10 years old
and I realized that I loved fixing beads.
Sadly, because of my younger siblings
and the possibility of them swallowing
the beads, we held on with the whole
beading idea. First born wahala, lol.
My beading journey began on my 12th
birthday with the beads and tools I got as
birthday gifts.
Fast forward, when SKY Girls organized
the "Do Your Thing" competition in
my school, I was 13 and I was already
a SKY girl so it was easy to join the
competition! Shout outs to all who
participated and the biggest shout outs
to me because I won both in my school
and the Inter school competition as well
with my beadwork – the way my head
is becoming big as I write this ern? You
have no idea, hahaha. I'm now 17 years,
sisters, and I still bead. Although I get
busy with school sometimes, I plan
my time so I’m able to make beautiful
art pieces with beads, and I sell them
through my mum.
Since I don’t want to depend on one
thing as a source of income, I choose to
pursue it as a side job when I graduate
from school. I shared my story so you
know that you don’t have to wait till you
are older to invest in something you
like doing. Keep learning and continue
practicing. I hope you enjoyed my story
because even me it has sweet my ears
paaa, hahaha. All the best in making
bright decisions girls.
Hi, SKY girls, I’m Miss Money. Of
all the things under the beautiful
bright sun I know without a doubt
that it’s me you’d choose, anyday,
anytime anaa? But, how well do
you know me?
Some say I don’t have a life span, but
that’s because my life begins when you
have me. So, whenever you get to be
my life giver, make sweet memories
with me and treat me well. So, my BFF’s
are discipline, love, smart work and
hardwork. Everyone might say that if you
work hard, you’ll get more of me.Well,
that’s true but, if you work hard and
work smart, you’ll have me in abundance!
I’m really happy that you think I solve all
problems but I really don’t. I get really
hurt when you blame me for all the
things that go wrong in your life because
there are so many opportunities out
there to make me. I’m very valuable, so,
learn how to make more of me, grow me
and invest me cuz I need a family too.
I get happy when you use me to develop
yourself; I’m 100% for growth and
development. Don’t crumple me sis,
you’d break my fragile bones. Don’t fold
me and dump me in your pocket, get
a purse and tuck me in, nice and clean.
Don’t touch me with your oily hands.
Ugh, who does that?
Please don’t spend me by heart, cuz I
put smiles on the faces on my recipients;
both old and young.
I’m a life saver but you are my life giver.
Always remember that.
Yours truly,
Miss Money
with The Vibes.

So Abrantie…That’s your name in YOLO
right? Tell us your real name.
Hey, yes that’s my name in YOLO, but my
real name is Ivan Nana Kwame Adumoah.
Nana Kwame is only for my home people, so
if you call me NK outside, I won’t realize it’s
me, lol.
We’re curious; what have you been doing
since YOLO?
Since YOLO, I’ve done a little bit of
everything. I’ve sold home electronics,
retailed clothes, done some influencing,
built kitchens, started a fashion line and a
skincare brand. I love to try new things.
Tell us what you look for in a girl?
Lool, I think I like “too known” ladies, I mean
a lady who knows who she is, carries herself
with a certain aura, is great at conflict
resolution, and is focused on a path; be it
business or career.
If we were to ask your friends about one
thing you’d never do, what do you think
they’d say?
They would probably say I would never
burst out in anger, lol.
What were you famous for in school?
In University of Ghana, it would definitely
be YOLO, but in secondary school I was a bit
popular for dancing. I participated in the AIS
inter house dance competition and we won
- but we were 2nd, lol.
Tell us about a time you had to say ‘NO’ to
pressure and what helped you stick to your
decision?
I really do not like to harm my body. Your
body is the only home you get to live in, so
I protect mine at all costs. In Uni, someone
offered me a cigarette at a party and the box
had “smoking kills” written on it. I asked
myself, “does this make sense?” It didn’t so
“NO THANK YOU”.
Any last words or advice for our SKY Girls?
Every time you feel overwhelmed, take a
second to tell yourself that, ‘In a short period
this will be over, and all this will be a good
story to tell.’ Close your eyes and picture
yourself telling the story of your current
situation as a memory where you are the
winner. It works like magic. You only lose to
a situation when you feel like it. You have a
lot of time, girls, use it to grow beautifully!
How would you describe yourself?
I am a creative, and I love to apply creativity
to make life easy for as many people as
possible. I’m the Waakye King of Accra – I

BRO CODE
1. A bro shall never sellout another bro!
2. A real bro is one who knows how to honour their
family in all situations.
3. Support your guy’s dreams no matter what!
Bros have a way of hyping their friends even when
they are flopping. They cheer each other on and
it’s so nice to watch.
4. Make time for the boys-boys even if you are busy
because your squad will always have your back.
Y’all know that every squad has a
unique language they speak and their
own CODE OF CONDUCT, right?
We’ve been snooping around asking
some boys and girls what codes they
have in their squad. W’oy3 interested
anaa? Wear your goggles and follow us
na Information wo wiase.
GIRL CODE
1. Sisters, be honest when your friend asks you how she’s
looking. If the outfit does not look nice, tell her so. What
are friends for?
2. Confront your friend nicely when you have an issue,
don’t go and spread it to other friends. Zip it!
3. Share interesting opportunities with your friends. You
definitely want to meet your BFFs at the top!
4. Support your friend in all she does! Be your friend’s
biggest fan.
5. Sisters before Misters is a saying for a reason. No matter
what the situation might be don’t fight over a boy you
just met.
