description: "Brigitte Sossou Perenyi is a Ghanaian documentary producer. She lived under conditions of slavery after being kidnapped at the age of seven and sent to Ghanaian sanctuary where Trokosi, or wife of the gods, was a secular practice that sends young women to forced labor to redeem the sins of their relatives. She was adopted by an American art forger and as an adult she returned to Ghana to see the charity that helped her, the Ghanaian family who looked after her and her birth family in Togo. Stories of her life have won awards and in 2018 she was chosen as one of the BBC's 100 Women."
