In an intriguing turn of events, Milana May, a young woman who hails from Siberia, has embarked on a swimming expedition across Ghana’s Lake Bosomtwe.
Before her journey, she sought blessings from local chiefs and elders, who performed rituals at the lake’s shore, praying for her safe passage and a smooth voyage.
Milana, who has a deep connection to the lake, expressed her intention to swim back and forth across one of the largest natural lakes in Ghana, located in the Ashanti region.
Clad in a jumpsuit and swimming goggles, she waved to the crowd before diving in, quickly disappearing from view.
The 26-year-old began her adventure on September 20, 2024, and concluded on Monday, September 23, 2024.
Dubbed the “Milana May Freedom Swim,” her expedition aimed at promoting eco-tourism and raising awareness about environmental conservation.
‘Swimming across Lake Bosomtwe is not just about sport or celebration; it’s about highlighting the fragility of our ecosystems. We must do everything we can to protect a
nd nourish these natural environments for ourselves and future generations,’ she stated.
Aside from her swimming hobby, Milana May is a music producer, singer, songwriter, and actress.
