One of Ghana’s top gospel artists, Celestine Donkor, has shared a devastating experience while growing up.
Sharing her story in an interview with Rainbow Fm, she used her story to encourage others to steadfast onto God so their story can change.
According to Celestine Donkor, she was forced to eat baby feces before being given a full course meal to eat by someone she worked for.
She made this known saying she was the seventh child in a family of fifteen, where resources were stretched thin.
This meant she had to serve in different households as a help to sustain herself.
“I was serving people as a house help. So that was how I grew up. Living with different kinds of people formed a very important part of my life because I experienced different things at different levels.
“Some of the people I stayed with were very good to me. They took me in as their own daughter. There was no feeling like an outcast. And there were others who made me feel rejected and less human,” she stated.
Celestine Donkor again shared another ordeal she went through in one of the households she worked.
“I lived with a woman in a compound house, helping her with chores. She already had a maid, so I was the assisting maid,” she said.
One day after doing all the maid’s chores, she refused to give me food to eat. When our madam’s baby pooped in its diaper, she took off the soiled diaper and said I should eat the feces before she gives me food. I was so hungry that I ate the baby’s feces.
I have never shared this because I feel it’s embarrassing,” she explained.
