Dear foreigners, ๐ฌ๐ญ
If you see Ghanaians singing, dancing, and making noise today, donโt be confused. Thatโs Jama.
Itโs more than just a song or celebration; itโs a culture that runs through our schools, workplaces, communities, and even football. Wherever Ghanaians gather, Jama brings us together.
This is the spirit we carry as we support the Black Stars. ๐ฌ๐ญ

Are you not charged by watching this Black Stars pre-kickoff video????๐
It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby โ a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist โ to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and weโre thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.
It is profoundly heartbreaking to witness another surge of xenophobic violence in #SouthAfrica this week. Hundreds have marched on Parliament, thousands of families have been displaced, and lives have been tragically cut short.
These include at least five Ethiopians killed earlier in the attacks, and five Mozambicans who died in Mossel Bay. Thousands more are now fleeing for their lives.
To see South Africa turn to xenophobia is a tragic betrayal of the country's struggle for independence and freedom. African nations stood united to dismantle apartheid. Ethiopia proudly supported "Madiba," Nelson Mandela, in 1962 and issued him a passport so he could travel the continent. Other countries helped in many ways, including with political and financial support.
Disagreements and grievances must be addressed by the justice system and the rule of law, never through vigilante violence and collective punishment.
South Africa deserves better. Africa deserves better.
Stop the hate. Protect the vulnerable. Uphold our shared humanity.
