Her creation featured a waist-hooping ring with suspenders that changed the outfit from a straight dress to a beautifully scaled ball gown.

Captain Smart, impressed by the innovations, hailed the young girl on his show. The Onua TV journalist said,
"Any university you plan to attend in Ghana, tell your parents to sleep. Bring every bill from level 100 to 400, in addition to hostel, provisions and fees, I will pay it all."
