I used to sell pure water and gari – Joyce Blessing
Gospel musician Joyce Blessing has revealed she once sold pure water on the streets as part of her struggle to survive. Speaking on Hitz FM on Wednesday, the singer shared her journey from hardship to success, recounting how she sold water, second-hand clothes, brooms, and other goods to make ends meet. Joyce Blessing, who is known for her hit song “Oluwa Is Involved,” explained that she left home at an early age due to the challenges her mother faced raising three children on her own. “From the beginning, it was very hard for me. If I tell people that I used to sell pure water, they don't believe me,” she said. “Sometimes, I would sell second-hand clothes, brooms, and gari. In fact, we sold anything that we came across. My sister and I did this together.” She also recalled how her parents were unaware of her move to Accra, as communication was not as easy back then.
