1. At the 7th edition of the Annual KAS Ghana Scholars Conference in Cape Coast, I sat in a room filled with brilliant minds. Each of us carrying our own journey, our own struggles, our own silent victories. I didn’t walk in expecting anything; I simply showed up, as I always try to, ready to learn, ready to serve.

2. So when my name was called as one of the five scholars to receive a of , I felt a breeze of gratitude blow over me. Not because of the award itself, but because it symbolized my mantra that nothing will go wrong, I only need to keep going trusting God.

3. And just when I thought the day couldn’t get any richer, I was elected as Organizer for the Scholars & Alumni Network. This presents me with a new opportunity to lead the design of meaningful programs and work alongside people who believe in the power of service and leadership.

4. After the conference, we hiked through Kakum National Park and stepped onto the canopy walk together - suspended in the air, trusting each step, cheering one another on. In that moment, I realized: this is what growth feels like. A little scary, a little exciting, but always worth it.

5. Every milestone from the past weekend whispered the same message:
Wherever you find yourself, contribute, even in the smallest way.

Keep showing up. Your results will meet you on the journey.

Special thanks to our Country Representative Anna Lena Sabroso-Wasserfall , Dr. Joseph Darmoe, Program Director and our Programs Managers: and Lawrencia Akosua Pomaa.

Honoured to have hosted the first-ever Climate Change Universities Debate organized by , a platform that brought together 12 universities from across the country to engage in rigorous, solutions-driven discourse on the climate crisis.

As a climate change advocate, it was inspiring to see young scholars challenge conventional thinking, defend evidence-based arguments, and propose practical pathways for climate resilience. Their passion reminds me that the fight for a sustainable future is in capable hands.

Congratulations to the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) for emerging as champions after a highly competitive and intellectually charged contest.

We were also honoured by the presence of the CEO of the National Youth Authority, Hon , whose support for youth-led climate action continues to energize the movement.

This event was more than a debate, it was a call to action. And I’m proud to be part of the growing community driving climate consciousness and leadership across Ghana.

Tomorrow, I will be hosting the inaugural edition of the Health and Labour Summit being organized by the incredible team at

Currently, nearly 1 in 2 deaths in the country is linked to a non-communicable disease. Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and chronic respiratory illness, many of which are linked to workplace incidents, now account for 43-45% of all deaths in Ghana.

These deaths are not aliens. They are friends, families and work colleagues. It’s for this reason we must ACT NOW.

Join us at the University of Ghana for this important conversation.

Excited to be hosting an important conversation on Diaspora-led Investments in Tourism and Adjacent Sectors at the Africa Tourism Rennaissance Conférence 2025.

Tourism remains one of Africa’s most promising drivers of economic transformation. The latest Ghana Tourism Report, released by the Ghana Tourism Authority, under the theme ‘Growth and Stability’, reveals that the country welcomed over 1.2 million international visitors in 2024, representing a 12 percent increase from the previous year. These arrivals generated a staggering US$4.8 billion in revenue into the tourism economy, the highest in the country’s tourism history.

Beyond leisure, tourism links to real estate, agriculture, creative industries, and digital platforms, all spaces where the diaspora can catalyze sustainable impact.

Our panel will unpack:

🔹 How diaspora investors are moving beyond remittances into structured, scalable ventures.
🔹 Policy and financing models that can de-risk investment (diaspora bonds, co-investment schemes, guarantees).
🔹 Emerging opportunity spaces — from eco-tourism to tech-enabled services.
🔹 Practical pathways for SMEs, MSMEs, and youth employment.

I’m looking forward to engaging insights from diaspora investors, policymakers, and innovators as we reimagine how the diaspora shapes Africa’s tourism future.

As Project Lead of the 2025 African Political Parties Summit (APPS), I am deeply proud to share that this year’s historic convening, held from August 12–14 at the Accra International Conference Centre, was a resounding success!

2. H.E. Carlos Vila Nova, President of São Tomé and Príncipe

3. H.E. Adam Farah, Deputy Prime Minister of Ethiopia
