My TED journey started in 2011 when I came across TED Talks online. I started watching TED videos on Youtube afterward In 2018, I attended my very first-ever TEDx event at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (TEDxKNUST) which inspired me to apply for the license to organize TED events on my campus at the University of Health and Allied Sciences, Ho-Volta Region in Ghana. I organized my first event in 2018 and the second one in 2022. I have been a strong advocate for promoting TED ever since I understood the whole concept of TEDX.
