Moshood... freelance writer editor, @yoyotinz . . Moshood moved to a new neighborhood recently, and all of a sudden he was accused of stealing a phone by some random woman he’s never met. This is because he looks foreign, he has dreads and he dresses different. The scary bit is that the woman thought moshood didn’t understand twi, so she said it in twi to a group of women in a salon. Imagine if he really was a foreigner, they could have done anything to him, including lynching. The fact that he’s not a foreign doesn’t not mean the same couldn’t have happened to him. A lot of young guys with dreads face prejudices from people everyday. In some instances they they regarded as social deviants, and so every bad thing that happens are associated with them. In a recent interview, emerging rapper Kofi Mole narrated that he’s having difficulties getting a house to rent because of his appearance. Many of the landlords he’s met don’t like his looks. Some young people can’t be who they really want to be because society frowns on it, and the ones who defy the odds are regarded as misfits. . . Moshood is pursuing the allegations leveled against him in all urgency. . . 📷: Nana Osei - 2019 . . . #la #labadi #adenta #accra #ghana #africa #moshood #writer #editor #yoyotinz #prejudice #dreads #appearance #dressing #foreign #rapper #kofimole #landlords #house #neighborhood #ashantiimmigrant #streetstyle #streetphotography #visiterlafrique #everydayafrica #dynamicafrica #accrawedey #socialdeviant #misfits (at Accra, Ghana) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvabJL3AdXX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1axzxuu0xgv89
