Media personality MC Yaa Yeboah has opened up about how she was bullied by a teacher and her classmates during her school years.<\/p>\n In an interview on the Delay Show with Deloris Frimpong Manso, she narrated how she had always aspired to work in the media. However, her dreams faced a hurdle after a teacher once told her she was “too black” to be a TV presenter, a comment that deeply affected her self-esteem for many years.<\/p>\n Yaa Yeboah recounted an incident with her Twi teacher at Achimota Preparatory School after she had given a speech.<\/p>\n “We had gone to another school, and I had read a poem. When I got backstage, she pulled me aside and told me, ‘You shouldn\u2019t be in a hurry to be in the midst of people. You are not too beautiful; you can never be a TV presenter. You are too black to be on TV,'” she recalled.<\/p>\n This, along with similar comments from classmates, made her feel unattractive and undermined her confidence.<\/p>\n She explained that during her school years, being light-skinned was considered the beauty standard, which further contributed to her lack of confidence. She also faced bullying from her peers, which led her to frequently engage in fights as a means of defending herself.<\/p>\n “I was bullied by my classmates. Throughout school, I never felt pretty. So I used to fight a lot because that was the only language I understood. If anyone tried to come at me, I would beat that person up,” she disclosed.<\/p>\n Despite these hurdles, MC Yaa Yeboah is now a successful TV and radio presenter, voice-over artist, and MC.<\/p>\n See the full interview below:<\/b><\/p>\n![\"Media](\"https:\/\/cdn.ghanaweb.com\/imagelib\/pics\/514\/51437074.295.jpg\" "\\"Media")
