Maame Ama Pratt has opened up about her early resistance to politics, shaped by her upbringing in a home where activism was part of daily life.
The daughter of veteran journalist and activist Kwesi Pratt Jnr., Ama Pratt revealed that growing up around political struggles made her hesitant to follow in her father's footsteps. "I was that child who understood too early what political activism really meant," she recalled in an interview on GBC's Breakfast Show monitored by MyNewsGh. "I saw my father get arrested at dawn, taken away by soldiers.
I saw him running at the airport, shouting just to alert people that he was being taken.
I learned very early that the world is much bigger than just my home and friends." Despite this exposure, she deliberately avoided politics for much of her early life. "There was a rule in my house-no politics here," she laughed. "I grew up wanting nothing to do with politics because of what I saw my father go through.
