Lecturer◾️Social Impact Strategist ◾️Doctoral Student I moved back home to contribute to rebuilding its foundation. Home is Ghana🇬🇭 but I was proudly raised in ATL. #Duality #FirstGeneration 🧰 Rebuilding through education, research, and social impact. All the fun buzzwords but truth be told I’ve been committed to this do-good life for years. 🛠Full-time lecturer of entrepreneurship and innovation. [Foundations of Design + Entrepreneurship/ Social Enterprise/ Organizational Behavior] #Ashesi 🛠Built and managed an African business incubator supporting graduates who opt to choose the path of entrepreneurship. A project collaboration with MIT D-Lab. #NEXTi2i 🛠 Co-Founder (currently in beta) LITH (leveraging intuitive technology for health) focuses on the mind health and overall well being of college students in Africa. 🛠Currently researching the intersection of African social culture and entrepreneurship. Paper coming soon. I care about the missing stories and voices of Africans and the diaspora who contributed to history. Thus switching to academia was a path I felt could amplify the voice of a black woman and the students she touches. Who else will tell our story and share our data, without bias? We need more voices!
