From a young age, Chelsea has stood up for others and has given the timid a voice. Chelsea participated in the DW TV Girls Off Mute project. Together they created several documentaries which raised awareness about the plight of her peers in Ghana. Chelsea also created a documentary about a female football player who was neglected by her family. Her documentary brought support from the Women’s Premier League Committee and the Professional Football Association of Ghana. Her documentaries have concretely changed the lives of two children. In the future, she hopes to put an end to children having to live on the streets. She hopes to start an NGO to achieve this goal.
