Lucas Henry is the director of photography of the documentary titled The Legacy of Hajia Mariam Alolo. During the filming of this documentary series, Lucas couldn’t help but admire the resilience and humility of Hajia Mariam Alolo. As the DOP for Sanatu Zambang Studios, Lucas eventually took a paused, deep breath and said;
“If humility was a human, certainly Hajia Mariam Alolo will be such a person”

Hajia Mariam Alhassan Alolo commonly known as “Haji Mariam” is a businesswoman and an Islamic missionary born in Changli, a suburban area of Tamale, Ghana.
She established the Mariam Islamic Center in Sabonjida in 1981 to train women preachers. Haji Mariam was a recipient of the Nana Asma’u Bint Fodio’s Award for Excellence in Promotion of Literacy in 2008 by the Al furqaan Foundation, an excellence awards organization that honors Muslim individuals and organizations in Ghana.
In a facebook post he wrote;
I shot this incredible documentary of The Legacy of Hajia Miriam Alolo in the Northern Region. She encourages the religious identity of Muslim women. As a result of her efforts, most women dress modesty in Northern Ghana. She didn’t just come to establish an Islamic institution, she is fun of helping the less privileged, orphans from far and near communities.
She also helped women in reciting the Holy Qur’an and help those who don’t understand it as well. Thanks to her, most women are able to practice the Qur’an. If humility was a human, certainly Hajia Miriam Alolo will be such a person. To know more about her kindly check the link below

Hi there!!! Meet Hajia Mariam Alolo In The Northern Region. She encourages the religious identity of women. As a result of her efforts, most women dress modesty in Northern Ghana.
She didn’t just come to establish an Islamic institution, she is fun of helping the less privileged, orphans from far and near communities. She also helped women in reciting the Holy Qur’an and help those who don’t understand it as well. Thanks to her, most women are able to practice the Qur’an.
