Ghanaian female celebrities who 'ditched' their husbands surname after marriage - GhanaWeb Posted: 29 Jul 2020 06:51 AM PDT Entertainment of Wednesday, 29 July 2020 Source: www.ghanaweb.com Click to read all about coronavirus → It may be a social custom for a woman to take her husband's surname when she gets married but not everyone is willing to give up their last name, something that is often an important part of individual identities. The same thing goes for some Ghanaian female celebrities, but sometimes it's not just about bucking cultural norms, it's also about preserving a brand. Perhaps the reason for more and more women choosing to keep their maiden name after marriage could be as a result of the increase in discussion around female empowerment. Unlike other who decided to add onto their already famous last names, these women rather dropped them completely. Below, take a look at ten celebrity women who ditched their husbands' last names Esther Cobbah, wife of Mr Tsatsu Tsikata The Chief Executive Officer and Lead Communication Strategist of Strategic Communications Africa still holds on to her full name after several years of marriage to Mr Tsikata. The two tied the knot on December 18 2001 at a private ceremony officiated by Rev. Dr Immanuel Asante at the Trinity Theological Seminary at Legon. It was the first marriage for Tsatsu Tsikata at the age of 50 plus after he failed to marry a young woman from the University of Ghana who he had a child with.
