I'm passionate about

I am particularly passionate about the advancement of Tech and its positive effects on the advancement of human life through education, work-life balance, communication, transportation, amongst many others. Over time, I have been exposed to some other social causes which has become very dear to my heart. Leading among these causes are learning disabilities within the vulnerable populace predominantly dyslexia. I have witness people being called dumb, cursed and useless because of their condition yet I have equally seen and met others that have built a great career and businesses in spite of the condition. I look forward to building partnerships with others to raise more awareness and provide support where necessary to shed more light on this condition.

The TED story

I was exposed to TED through a friend when TEDx Accra was initially organized. I did not participate fully as I had not grasped the whole concept of what TED was so I called it "another of the motivational talks". Over time, I came to understand what "ideas worth sharing" really meant so I made it a goal to get involved whenever the chance was available. In due course, I entered Aston University for a postgraduate study and that beautiful opportunity was here. I look forward to a lifelong journey with TED helping to share worthy ideas to the world in a local setting but within a global context.
