โ Exclusive Guest Feature & Dialogue
โIn this exclusive conversation, Gwen Addo is joined by Berla Mundiโrenowned Ghanaian broadcast journalist and global media personality.



Together, they will unpack the powerful themes of the featured article and the human tragedy behind the Spotlight: The Soul of Kayayei with the Many Strings.
Revealed in their dialogue: How something as simple as caring for yourself and others can unlock deeper truths about personal well-being, social harmony, and national progress.
โ๐ฑ Health In Crisis: A Nation on the Edge
โHealth remains our greatest wealthโmore valuable than money or power. This edition confronts the harsh realities faced by ๐ฌ๐ญ A Nation on the Edge โ Health in Crisis.
โThis weekโs health spotlight also addresses a simple but critical question:
The devastating reality of the Kayayei and the broken second-hand clothing system, the critical questions we must ask span the ethical, economic, environmental, and humanitarian spheres.
โCritical Questions to Ask
โ1. Ethical & Humanitarian Responsibility (The Kayayei)
โThese questions focus directly on the human cost and the violation of dignity:
- โHuman Dignity: How can global business practices be fundamentally reformed to ensure the safety, health, and dignity of the Kayayei are prioritized over profit and convenience?
- โAccountability: Who is ultimately responsible for the severe, irreversible health damage and fatalities resulting from the exploitation of these young women and girls?
- โEmpowerment: What sustainable, viable Exit Rampsโincluding free vocational training, safe accommodation, and micro-financingโcan be immediately established to offer Kayayei alternatives to head-porterage?
- โChild Protection: Given that girls as young as six are present, what concrete measures are required to enforce child protection laws and address the root poverty driving this child labor?
โ2. Economic & Systemic Reform (The Broken Model)
โThese questions challenge the economic structures that allow this exploitation to persist:
- โSupply Chain Ethics: How can international exporters and fast fashion retailers be held financially accountable for the massive volume of unusable textile waste (the 40%) they dump onto markets like Kantamanto?
- โCost Internalization: Should global policy mandate that the cost of ethical sorting, recycling, and disposal of textile waste be internalized and paid by the exporting countries or companies, rather than burdened by the Kayayei?
- โFinancial Justice: What mechanisms are needed to stabilize the income of local retailers and prevent the debt traps caused by buying unusable bales ($200 to $700) and ensure fairer pricing for usable goods?
โ3. Environmental & Consumer Action (The Waste)
โThese questions address the global habits and waste management policies:
โPolicy Gaps: What specific international trade agreements or national import/export policies need to be implemented or revised to prevent low-quality, unsellable textiles from being shipped as “donations” in the first place?
Consumer Responsibility: How can consumers in developed nations be effectively educated to shift behavior from the “buy, wear, discard, donate” cycle toward “reduce, reuse, and demand quality” to slow the pipeline of waste?
โWaste Management Innovation: What investment is required to establish advanced, local recycling and upcycling infrastructure in Ghana that could create sustainable, high-dignity jobs for the Kayayei instead of dangerous manual labor?
That powerful statement serves as an excellent, emotionally resonant, and socially conscious introduction for the newsletter, perfectly setting the stage for an article about the Kayayei within the context of Gwen Addo’s mission.
โFinal layout integrating the introduction as a front-page tip/preface:
Gwen Addo: Forging Wellness as a Universal Right
โA Note from the Founders
โ”The situation for the Kayayeiโthe female head portersโis unequivocally one of exploitation, extreme necessity, and systemic poverty, not one of pleasure or satisfying work.
The decades-long pattern of extreme poverty in Ghana’s northern regions combined with the broken business model of second-hand clothing in the south has created a system that traps these young women and girls in a cycle of destitution and life-threatening labor.”
Featured Spotlight: The Soul of Kayayei with The Many Strings
โThis special edition features Gwen Addo, certified entrepreneur, wellness coach, food educator, and co-founder of Owusuwaa Weekly.
โAs the founder of Hair Senta, HIBS-Africa, and TLSโThe Leading Senta, Gwen is more than a business strategist; she is a movement-builder shaping communities where health, beauty, and wellness are not luxuries, but rights.
โGwen’s work centers on understanding the profound connection between culture, community, and healthโa mission that requires acknowledging and supporting the most burdened in society. We explore this connection through the lens of: “The Soul of Kayayei with The Many Strings.”
โGuiding Principles: Her Mission is Clear
- โEmpower everyday people with practical wellness tools.
- โInspire young minds to contribute to a healthier, more responsible future.
- โRedefine business as a community hub โ a place of trust, connection, and transformation.
โโCultural exchange is at the heart of this vision. It creates ripples of connection that unite hearts,โ Gwen reflects.
โFor her, health is culture โ and culture is the boundless force behind true growth, especially for those carrying the heaviest loads.
โRelating Gwen Addo’s Mission to the Kayayei’s Burdens
โGwen Addo’s mission, as described in the provided text, aligns with addressing the systemic issues that contribute to the Kayayei’s plight by focusing on wellness, empowerment, and community structure.
โ1. Empower Everyday People with Practical Wellness Tools
| Kayayei Burden (Contextual Inference) | Alignment with Mission (Direct Quote) |
| Physical Harm: Irreversible damage to the spinal column and fatal risks from carrying 55kg bales. | Empower everyday people with practical wellness tools. |
| Connection: As a certified entrepreneur and wellness coach, Gwen’s focus on practical wellness tools could be directly applied to the Kayayei. This may include education on safe lifting techniques, basic body mechanics, or pain management strategies to mitigate the physical effect of their work. |
2. Redefine Business as a Community Hub
| Kayayei Burden (Contextual Inference) | Alignment with Mission (Direct Quote) |
| Financial Trap: Retailers go into debt; Kayayei make little money, trapping them in the work. | Redefine business as a community hub โ a place of trust, connection, and transformation. |
| Connection: As the co-founder of Owusuwaa Weekly and a business strategist, Gwen aims to redefine business. This vision of a business as a hub of trust and transformation could address the broken business model mentioned, potentially by advocating for fairer wages, providing financial literacy resources, or creating transitional skills training to offer an escape from the “pattern” of poverty. |
3. Health is Culture and Cultural Exchange
| Kayayei Burden (Contextual Inference) | Alignment with Mission (Direct Quote) |
| Systemic Burden: The Kayayei are the “ultimate carriers of the burden” in a broken business model impacting their human dignity. | โCultural exchange is at the heart of this vision. It creates ripples of connection that unite hearts,โ and “For her, health is culture.” |
| Connection: Gwen’s view that “health is culture” suggests that achieving wellness requires acknowledging and validating the lived experience of groups like the Kayayei. Through cultural exchange, her platform can highlight the truth of “The Soul of Kayayei with The Many Strings,” fostering empathy and driving a collective community effort to address the devastating human cost and seek solutions that transcend mere charity and lead to genuine transformation. |
โThe Crisis at Kantamanto Market, Accra
โThe Kantamanto market, the world’s largest second-hand clothing market, is a dramatic demonstration of the consequences of the fast fashion and broken business models.
โ๐ The Scale of Waste
- โArrivals: 15 million garments arrive every week.
- โImmediate Waste: Approximately 40% of the garments are immediately discarded due to being low quality, damaged, or unsellable.
- โThe Evidence: The massive scale of physical waste is literal and undeniable.
โ The Financial Burden
- โRetailer Debt: The clothing is not free; retailers spend $200 to $700 per bale.
- โBroken Model: When retailers cannot sell the items, they go into significant debt.
โ๐งโโ๏ธ The Human Cost: The Kayayei
โThe ultimate burden of this business model falls upon young women and girls known as Kayayei, a term meaning “she who carries the burden.” โThe Work and Danger:
| Factor | Detail |
| Age Range | Typically 14 to 45 years, though some carriers can be as young as six. |
| Weight of Bales | 55 kg โ often their entire body weight or more. |
| Distance | Carried for a minimum of a kilometer. |
| Frequency | Sometimes up to ten trips a day. |
| Compensation | They make very little money. |
Irreversible Harms:
- โSpinal Damage: Irreversible harms to the spinal column after just two months of work.
- โReproductive Impact: Impacts their ability to have children.
- โFatal Risk: Can be fatal, with necks potentially breaking under the weight.
- โFatalities: Three women are known to have died this year alone in the market due to this work.
โThe information vividly highlights a critical global issue concerning environmental sustainability, ethical labor practices, and social justice. The story of the Kayayei illustrates the extreme and often hidden human suffering caused by the consumption patterns of wealthier nations.
The situation for the Kayayeiโthe female head portersโis unequivocally one of exploitation, extreme necessity, and systemic poverty, not one of pleasure or satisfying work.
โThe decades-long pattern of extreme poverty in Ghana’s northern regions combined with the broken business model of second-hand clothing in the south has created a system that traps these young women and girls in a cycle of destitution and life-threatening labor.
โ1. The Purely Physical and Mental Effect
โThe physical demands and conditions of the Kayayei’s work result in severe and often irreversible health damage, compounded by mental distress and vulnerability.
- โIrreversible Physical Harm: Carrying bales that weigh 55 kg (120 lbs) or more, multiple times a day, causes serious injuries. This includes irreversible damage to the spinal column, neck fractures (which can be fatal), chronic body pain (neck, back, legs), and difficulty breathing under the load.

- โVulnerability and Health Risks: Kayayei often lack stable housing, sleeping in markets or on pavements, which exposes them to harsh weather, disease (like malaria and cholera), and significant safety risks, including sexual assault and rape.
- โMental Health Impact: The combination of grueling physical labor, meager pay (sometimes under $1 per trip), social stigma, and frequent verbal and physical abuse leads to high rates of anxiety, depression, and stress. They are often “looked down upon” and treated “like they don’t matter.”
โ2. Necessity, Not Pleasure: The Trap of Poverty
โThe Kayayei’s work is driven by economic necessity and the lack of viable alternatives, making the idea of “pleasure” from carrying such weight completely incongruous with their reality.
โA. The Necessity of Survival
- โMigration from Poverty: Most Kayayei migrate from the impoverished northern regions of Ghana to the urban south in search of an income because there are few, if any, economic opportunities at home.
- โNo Other Option: Head porterage is often the only readily available work for these unskilled, young, female migrants. Many see it as a temporary means to save money for a better future, such as starting a small business or returning home with assets, but they quickly become trapped.
- โInadequate Pay: They are paid such meagre wages that they must risk their lives and health by carrying excessively heavy loads multiple times a day just to survive and afford basic necessities, like food or a spot to sleep.
โB. The Systemic Trap
โThe situation is a clear example of systemic exploitation rooted in economic disparity and historical patterns that disadvantage marginalized groups.
- โInformal Economy Exploitation: Working in the informal economy, they lack legal protection, making them vulnerable to unscrupulous employers, clients, and market caretakers who often extort or underpay them.
- โGlobal Waste Cycle: Their labor is directly tied to the global cycle of fast fashion waste. They are the unacknowledged, human part of the system that cleans up the excess of wealthier countries, literally carrying the burden of clothing deemed worthless by others.
- โThe Myth of “Strength”: While they exhibit incredible physical endurance, this is not a source of empowerment but a necessity for survival. Romanticizing “African tradition” or their “strength” by ignoring the pain and exploitation is a form of dehumanization that allows the system to continue.
โIn summary, the Kayayei are not satisfied or pleased with their burden; they are trapped in a precarious survival mechanism driven by extreme poverty and the structural inequalities of a global economic system.
Here is a suggested opening for the dialogue between Berla Mundi and Gwen Addo, incorporating the greetings and introductions relevant to the newsletter’s theme:
โDialogue Opening: Forging Wellness as a Universal Right
โ[Scene: A warm, presents setting. Berla Mundi, the host, is seated across from Gwen Addo, the guest.]


โBerla Mundi (Host): Welcome back to this very special edition. Today, we delve into a topic that is both challenging and deeply necessary: the profound connection between our economy, our culture, and the right to basic human wellness. We’re here to discuss the groundbreaking article from Owusuwaa Weekly, titled “Forging Wellness as a Universal Right,” and its powerful accompanying spotlight, “The Soul of Kayayei with the Many Strings.”
โIt is my immense pleasure to welcome the co-founder of Owusuwaa Weekly, the entrepreneur, wellness coach, and author of Direction, the incredible Gwen Addo. Gwen, thank you so much for joining us to share your vision.

โGwen Addo (Guest): Berla, thank you. Itโs an honor to be here and to have this crucial conversation with you. As we often say at Owusuwaa Weekly, health is culture, and culture is the force behind true growth. I believe this dialogue, and this article, can be one of those ripples that truly unites hearts.

โBerla Mundi (Host): Thatโs a powerful perspective. And the heart of your mission, which is to define health and wellness as a fundamental right, is tested so acutely by the reality of the Kayayeiโyoung women and girls carrying literal burdens that endanger their lives. Gwen, for our audience, many of whom may have seen these headlines but perhaps not felt the true weight of the issue, how does your philosophyโthis idea of “The Soul of Kayayei with the Many Strings”โbegin to frame this uncomfortable reality?

โGwen Addo (Guest): Berla, first, let me acknowledge the incredible, courageous reporting that you and your colleagues have brought to light over the years on this crisis. The work you’ve done to illuminate the raw statistics is essential. When you lay it outโand Iโll summarize for the audience, because the facts are devastatingโit becomes impossible to look away:
โThe Crisis at Kantamanto Market, Accra
โThe Kantamanto market, the world’s largest second-hand clothing market, is a dramatic demonstration of the consequences of the fast fashion and broken business models.

- โThe Scale of Waste: 15 million garments arrive every week, and 40% are immediately discarded. The scale of physical waste is literal and undeniable.
- โThe Financial Burden: Retailers spend $200 to $700 per bale and are trapped in debt when the items are unsellable.
- โThe Human Cost: The Kayayei: The ultimate burden of this business model falls upon young women, the Kayayeiโshe who carries the burden. They carry bales that are 55 kgโoften their entire body weightโfor multiple kilometers, sometimes ten trips a day.

- โIrreversible Harms: The work causes irreversible damage to the spinal column after just two months, impacts their ability to have children, and can be fatal. Tragically, three women are known to have died this year alone in the market.
โThis summary, Berla, is the very definition of a social illness. It highlights a critical global issue where environmental unsustainability, ethical labor failure, and social injustice converge. The story of the Kayayei illustrates the extreme and often hidden human suffering caused by the consumption patterns of wealthier nations.
โSo, when we talk about “The Soul of Kayayei with the Many Strings,” we are refusing to accept this situation as just another problem to be managed. That phrase is our way of saying: This is not just an economic transaction; it is a profound violation of human dignity.
โThe “many strings” are the ties that bind her: the threads of poverty driving her from the north, the strings of a global fast fashion system that sees her as disposable labor, and the deep cultural string of resilience that allows her to survive despite the exploitation. Our article, “Forging Wellness as a Universal Right,” is about addressing those stringsโnot by offering pity, but by building systems of empowerment that redefine the business model and see her health, safety, and future as non-negotiable human rights.
โDialogue Continuation
โBerla Mundi (Host): Gwen, that is an unforgettable summary. You’ve clearly articulated the layers of this crisisโfrom the environmental cost of 15 million discarded garments to the devastating, personal cost paid by the Kayayei. It shifts the entire conversation from simply “what are we doing to help?” to “how is the global system breaking this community?”
โYou yourself, through Hair Senta and HIBS-Africa, are a highly successful entrepreneur who built a brand on empowerment and business integrity. My own initiative, ‘B. You by Berla Mundi,’ focuses on mentoring young women to find purpose and financial security, often targeting those in tertiary education.
โGiven your mission to “Redefine business as a community hub” and to “Empower everyday people with practical wellness tools,” where do you see the most immediate and impactful overlap between the Kayayei’s desperate reality and your philosophy? What practical steps can we, the entrepreneurs and advocates, take to address this systemic exploitation?
โGwen Addo (Guest): That is the million-dollar question, Berla. And itโs exactly where the Human Revolution needs to happenโnot just in government or international aid, but in our business ethos.
โI see three immediate points of intersection, all rooted in Owusuwaa Weekly‘s vision:
โ1. Transforming the Hub: Creating Exit Ramps
โThe Kayayei are trapped because the cost of not carrying the baleโreturning home to zeroโis higher than the risk of carrying it. My work has always been about teaching women to build a solid foundation. We need to leverage business infrastructure to create viable Exit Ramps. This means partnering with local NGOsโlike PAYDP and ACDEP, who are already on the groundโto provide targeted vocational and financial literacy training. We can train them in scalable trades and provide start-up micro-capital for small-scale industries that offer a genuine alternative to head-porterage. This turns the market from a place of exploitation into a Business Incubator.
โ2. Wellness as Economic Dignity
โWhen we talk about wellness tools, it must start with physical survival. The statistics on spinal damage are horrific. A short-term solution involves working with local health organizations to establish mobile health clinics at the market offering physical therapy, pain management, and reproductive health counseling. But the long-term, economic dignity solution is giving them a skill that doesn’t demand their body as collateral. My focus on beauty and wellness is vast; we can train young women as certified assistants in skills like natural hair care, product formulation, or food education, turning their resilience into a sustainable, injury-free career path.
โ3. The Power of Cultural Exchange: Changing the Narrative
โYour initiative, ‘B. You,’ and the platform you offer are crucial here. The system survives because the Kayayei are invisible. Cultural exchange, for us, means connecting the privileged young women you mentor with the reality of the Kayayei. When an aspiring female CEO sees the exploitation of a 14-year-old girl carrying 55kg, the message isn’t charity; itโs an indictment of the system that allows her to thrive while the other struggles. It creates a unified sisterhood demanding sustainable, ethical supply chains and investment in the Kayayeiโs northern regions to address the root cause of the migration.
โThe many strings of their soul need to be re-woven with direction, skills, and hope. That is the human revolution we must champion.
Dialogue Continuation

โBerla Mundi (Host): That is powerful. I love the concept of the market becoming a Business Incubator and the direct linkage between wellness and economic dignity. When we return, I want to explore how international readers can truly leverage their consumer power to support these ethical pivots, and what role your book, Direction, plays in guiding the young women who are on that Exit Ramp to a better future. Stay with us.
โ(Brief pause for a simulated commercial break)

โBerla Mundi (Host): Welcome back. We are here with Gwen Addo, discussing her groundbreaking article, “Forging Wellness as a Universal Right,” and the human stories behind the “The Soul of Kayayei with the Many Strings.”
โGwen, before the break, you laid out a brilliant strategy for transforming the market into a hub for skill development. But letโs talk about the international angle. The root cause of that 40% wasteโthe poor quality balesโcomes from outside Ghana. For our audience worldwide, many of whom participate in the fast fashion cycle, how can they leverage their role as consumers to support the ethical pivots you are advocating for? What is the responsible action for the international reader?

โGwen Addo (Guest): That is the responsibility we all share, Berla, and it’s what defines true cultural exchangeโit’s not just about what we take, but what we demand.
โFor the international reader, your action is threefold: Educate, Advocate, and Invest.
โ1. Educate: Stop the Pipeline
โThe first step is to internalize the reality you and your team have so clearly presented: that the clothes they donateโthe ones deemed “unsellable”โare causing spinal damage and death right here in Accra. They must demand transparency from global brands about their textile waste management. The mantra must change from “It’s better to donate than trash” to “It is better to buy less and buy better.”
โ2. Advocate: Demand Sustainable Supply Chains
โConsumers must use their voice to push governments and retailers in their own countries to impose stricter regulations on textile waste and to support local circular economy initiatives within Ghana. We need to advocate for global policies that recognize the Kayayei’s labor as a human rights issue, ensuring that the cost of disposal is borne by the exporter, not by the bodies of the most vulnerable in the receiving country.
โ3. Invest: Fund the Exit Ramps
โFinally, they can invest directly in the Exit Ramps we discussed. Find and support organizations that are focused on:
- โNorthern Development: Investing in sustainable farming and business in the Kayayei’s home regions to address the root cause of migration.
- โSkills Training: Directly funding the vocational centers and mobile health units in Kantamanto.
โThis is how the international community honors the “Soul of Kayayei”โby shifting from a model of pity to one of partnership and systemic correction.

โBerla Mundi (Host): That is a powerful call to action: Educate, Advocate, and Invest. It moves the focus from charity to fundamental change. Now, speaking of direction and change, you are the author of the book, Direction. For a young Kayayei woman who has just found an Exit Ramp and is stepping into a skills training program, what central message does Direction offer her? How does it help her navigate this fragile transition from survival to self-sufficiency?

โGwen Addo (Guest): Direction is essentially a roadmap for cultivating inner power when the outer world feels chaotic. For the young woman who has carried the weight of 55 kilograms for too long, my message is simple: You already possess the greatest strength.
โDirection teaches her that the discipline she learned carrying those balesโthe physical endurance, the commitment, the sheer willpower to surviveโcan be translated into the focus required for financial literacy, business management, and building a dignified life. It empowers her to see her past struggle not as a shame, but as the raw material for her incredible future success. It helps her chart her own courseโto be the author of her own story, not just a character in someone else’s broken business model.
Dialogue Conclusion: The Moral Mandate

โBerla Mundi (Host): Gwen Addo, your insights have been truly revolutionary, turning the problem of waste into a mandate for wellness. Now, to conclude this crucial discussion, I want to reflect on the core philosophy that underlies all we’ve discussed: the fierce commitment to human dignity, taught and lived by SGI President Daisaku Ikeda.
โGwen, drawing from his heart, his message on the profound suffering of the Kayayei is not just a call for reform, but a moral injury and a violation of the highest human ideals.
โ1. Indignation and Refutation of Injustice
โFor President Ikeda, the suffering of the Kayayei evokes a clear, unwavering indignationโthe righteous anger that arises when human dignity is trampled. He would declare this exploitation, this forced labor on girls who should be learning and dreaming, as a Crime Against Human Rights, reminding us: โExtreme poverty threatens peopleโs right to life itself and makes impossible the enjoyment of the rights and freedoms essential to a humane way of life.โ
โAnd he would condemn the Violence of Apathy, saying that โTo fail to take action even with clear knowledge of such suffering can only be called cowardice.โ Indifference is itself a form of violence. He calls upon every single one of usโleaders, citizens, youthโto raise our voices and refuse to look away.
โ2. Compassion as Empowerment
โHis compassion is not sentimental; it is courageous, active, and empowering. It demands a Solidarity of the Heartโthat we feel the suffering of the Kayayei as our own. True Buddhist compassion is โthe determination to relieve suffering and impart joy.โ
โHe reminds us that the Kayayei are not “objects of pity” but resilient human beings. Society must offer seamless, collective support to restore their hope and dignity. And to the women themselves, he would affirm: โThose who have suffered the most deserve the greatest happiness.โ He would remind them, and us, that the power they possess is limitless, and โThere is no suffering you cannot conquer.โ
โ3. Human Revolution for Systemic Change
โFinally, we must challenge ourselves to see the deeper cause. Their suffering arises from the egoโs โunrestrained and destructive expressionโโa society that uses people as tools, not treasures. As he taught: โThe world will never get better as long as people themselves remain selfish and lacking in compassion.โ
โTherefore, our missionโyour mission, Gwen, and my missionโis clear: We must strive for the Human Revolution, the inner transformation, to support the creation of a Constructive Economy where all people can participate in creating lasting worthโa world where Wellness is forged as a universal human right, not a privilege.

โGwen Addo (Guest): That is the ultimate call, Berla. It perfectly encapsulates why we must move beyond simply managing waste to transforming the human heart. That message of rejecting injustice, embracing empowering compassion, and transforming ourselves is the Direction we all need.

โBerla Mundi (Host): Gwen Addo, certified entrepreneur, wellness coach, and co-founder of Owusuwaa Weeklyโthank you for giving us a Direction rooted in profound humanity and practical action. This conversation has been essential.

โGwen Addo (Guest): Thank you, Berla. It has been an honor.

โBerla Mundi (Host): Gwen Addo, certified entrepreneur, wellness coach, and co-founder of Owusuwaa Weeklyโthis conversation has been essential. Your vision for Forging Wellness as a Universal Right and your practical steps to address the tragedy of The Soul of Kayayei with the Many Strings gives us not only hope but a clear roadmap for action. Thank you so much for sharing your time and your mission with us.
