Ghanaian female footballer, Dorcas Fumey Kafui, has officially launched the first extended play of her Echoes from Faraday project.
The launch took place at the Kawukudi branch of Decathlon on Saturday, May 18.
The EP, dubbed, Bayor, is a collection of stories that celebrate the successes of African female players with the project dedicated to former Black Queens captain, Adjoa Bayor.
The project features players such as FC Nordsjaelland's Jennifer Cudjoe, former Ghana forward Samira Suleman, Elizbeth Addo, Uganda's Ruth Aturo and a host of other players including Fumey Kafui, also known as Faraday.
Speaking on the inspiration behind bringing other female footballers on the project, Faraday said, "I realised that most of the players resonated with most of the themes our project revolves around - mental health, equity, feminism and a lot."
"If a player from Africa is going through or battling with her mental health, the process involves lots of honesty and vulnerability. I realised that they could resonate and we all shared the same sentiments and feelings; playing on the African continent before you even making to the professional level.
"Most of the challenges we face on the Ghanaian soil is on the Liberian soil, Moroccan soil and all countries across the continent of Africa."
The event saw former Black Stars and Professional Footballers Association of Ghana (PFAG) Secretary, Tony Baffoe, Ridge City bankroller Cleopatra Nketiah, DCOP Lydia Donkor and seasoned sports journalist Rosalind Koramah Amoh also in attendance.
Baffoe lauded the initiative by the GRA Ladies player, adding that it would go a long way to inspire young girls out there.
"She's a young and upcoming lady, very creative, that's her industry; very innovative and I think for someone who has the passion for football, plays football also, it's a great example to really portray not only the good side but also the other side which has to do with mental health, depression.
"I can only congratulate her for this project. She has our full support."
The Bayor EP has four artistic works on it; Deep Pressing, Sailing Path, Echoes From The Passt (Revised) and Never Late.
Echoes from Faraday uses art to commend players on their journey and to ignite the passion of aspiring women footballers and all football enthusiasts through well-crafted pieces on the women’s game.
These pieces of art focus on the experiences, struggles and inspirational stories to strengthen the current and next generation of women footballers for the journey ahead.
