Citing US Vice President Kamala Harris, Sweet Adjeley has challenged the notion “a woman’s place is in the home”.
The New Jersey-based Ghanaian medical officer and social media star spoke to Prince Benjamin (PB) on the Class Morning Show (CMS) on Class 91.3 FM, Friday, July 26, 2024.
“I don’t know if it’s just Ghana or if it’s an African thing that a woman’s place is in the home and in the kitchen and all that,” Sweet Adjeley wondered, projecting: “Look, Kamala Harris may become the first woman president. What is she doing there? It’s all part of…”
She seemed confident for Harris’ victory in November: “Yes, because some of us are voting for her. That’s it.”
On her reasons for supporting Harris, Sweet Adjeley said: “Number one, she’s a woman – she’s a Black woman. And I think the US will be more peaceful with her rather than the other person as our president.”
She said: “If we women, if we put our jealousy of each other aside and we say she’s winning, she’s winning.”
She expressed hope Kamala Harris could manage competing powers and troubling concerns on the geopolitics landscape: “Yes, I believe so.”
Living under Trump’s presidency
Sweet Adjeley asserted before Biden won the presidency, immigrants were agitated and felt unsafe.
“Because when this other person was president, my children’s lives were miserable in school. Even kids were telling my kids, oh, if he becomes president, you go back to your country. Well, it didn’t happen. My kids are Americans. They were born there. So they’re not going anywhere. They can throw me back here to Ghana, but my kids… But for children to even feel the tension, it got to a point where when you see somebody, you just begin to think, is this person going to harm me?” she said.
“The place became scary, but we’ve had four years of calm, quiet [with Biden]. Yes, in my opinion,” the award-winning chef contrasted.
She observed Joe Biden had done “some things that I don’t like, but nobody’s perfect”.
Concluding, Marklina Naa Adjeley Quaye, alias Sweet Adjeley, noted there “is a huge possibility” Donald J. Trump would return to the White House.
“So it scares me to think that we’re going to have this person back. It scares me, but hey, the majority carries the vote,” she added.
In November, America goes to the polls to choose between former President and Republican lead Donald Trump, and pending an official announcement from the Democrats, current Vice President Kamala Harris.
Joe Biden has rescinded his decision to run for a second term.
