Yellow is my favourite colour because it represents optimism, and so, I still believe there is hope for humanity in our collective efforts for good.

A lot of things enthuse me, Art, nature; the environment and its fascinating kind but most importantly, I am passionate about how we deal with nature and the environment, its effect, and the part we ought to play to safeguard our environment for future generations.

Some includes the University of Ghana Plastic Recycle project; here we involve the student populace to be mindful of the environment, educate on the importance of plastic waste segregation and avoid irresponsible disposal of waste. Sustainability Week Accra also encourage sustainable living, going more organic to minimize inorganic waste whereas 'Accra we Dey' is a group of artists involved in Art advocacy to bring about climate justice to the attention of the public in a broader sense My engagement with these groups has been a learning experience and its an endeavor I am passionate to pursue and do more in the future for collective good of humanity.
