Harmonie Bataka, 27, a skateboarder and skateboarding tutor, waits to catch a bus to the Freedom Skatepark, in Tema, Ghana, March 5, 2022. Bataka quit her job last year to pursue the sport full time, to the dismay of friends and family. “They said there were too many boys doing it, boys who were too good for me to win any competitions . but I didn't care” she said. “I just wanted to be free to do what I love”.
