Nana Yaa Brefo Explains Move To US, Says She Is Proud To Work As An Uber Driver Despite The Backlash

Veteran Ghanaian media personality Nana Yaa Brefo has publicly addressed her decision to leave her journalism career in Ghana and relocate to the United States, where she now works as a rideshare driver.

In a video shared on her TikTok account on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, Nana Yaa Brefo confirmed that she had moved abroad to seek new opportunities and had chosen to work as an Uber driver.

According to her, the announcement of her new profession attracted mixed reactions online, with some social media users offering encouragement while others criticised her move.

“I told you I was working as an Uber driver in the United States and received a lot of comments, some positive and some negative. I think I explained that there is a need for me to do something here,” she stated in the video.

Despite the backlash, she emphasised that she is unbothered by the criticism and sees no shame in earning an honest living.

Her remarks have since sparked conversations about career transitions, migration, and the realities many professionals face when relocating abroad.
