'I'm constantly having to prove I'm Ghanaian'
The singer-songwriter Yasmeen Helwani was born and raised in Ghana to a Lebanese father and Ghanaian mother. But she says there are times she's been made to feel like an outsider. Yasmeen recently released a single called 'How Are You?' which addresses her mixed identity and features another well-known person of mixed heritage, the Ghanaian-Romanian, Wanlov. Focus on Africa's Mark Wilberforce has been speaking to Yasmeen.
