It was a bittersweet moment joining the @OSFHealthCare Beverly Breast Cancer Walk in solidarity with survivors and warriors, because it really does go beyond pink ribbons 🎀 and #PinkOctober. I walked because I believe in showing up for efforts that show up for survivors.
A teacher saw our MMMP Meet-Up recap and reached out. "Can you come speak to our JHS students before their exams?" We showed up at MA 3 Basic School. We handed out stationery. Our mentors reminded a room full of young people that they are more than their results. That's the work!
MMMP JHS MeetUp 2026 is here One meet up. Over 50 students. Real impact.
Connecting young minds, inspiring growth, and empowering the next generation to lead with confidence.

Across #Sudan, hunger is tightening its grip.
As food becomes scarce and the risk of famine persists, many women are eating last and least, sometimes going a full day without food.
No one should ever have to survive like this.

From the Lecture Halls of Legon to the Moon: Celebrating Christina Koch
I join the University of Ghana and the entire nation in celebrating NASA Astronaut Christina Koch on her historic membership of the Artemis II mission.
It is a point of immense pride to learn that Christina, the only woman on this pioneering lunar mission, was once an exchange student at our very own University of Ghana during the 1999/2000 academic year.
Her time at Legon was not just a passing visit; she truly immersed herself in our culture and heritage. By studying the History of Ghana, the History of Africa, Rural Sociology, Music, and even Twi for Beginners, she built a foundation of global citizenship right here in Accra.
Her gesture of hoisting the Ghanaian flag in outer space was a deeply touching moment for every Ghanaian. It is a testament to the fact that no matter how far one travels, even into the vastness of space, the friendships made and the lessons learned stay with you.
Christina’s journey from the classrooms of the University of Ghana to the frontiers of space exploration serves as a powerful inspiration to every young Ghanaian. It reminds us that our educational institutions continue to produce and shape global leaders who break barriers and reach for the stars.
On behalf of a proud nation, I wish Christina Koch and the entire Artemis II crew godspeed on your return journey to earth. May your success continue to inspire generations across Ghana, Africa, and the world to believe that there's no height that is insurmountable.
Congratulations, Christina.
Ghana is proud of you!
