She revealed that it has not been an easy ride to get sworn-in since COVID has played a part in delaying the process so she’s relieved it finally went through.
She thanked her friends and family and anyone who supported her in any way.
She wrote: “It’s official! New York Bar Swearing-in Ceremony: 08:19:2021. It’s been a rough ride with delays by COVID and all but here we are; licensed attorney, Ghana and the State of New York. I’m forever grateful to family and some very amazing and supportive friends!”
Adwoa’s swearing-in ceremony was held virtually by justices of the State Supreme Court.
Congratulations to her.
