Graduated from the London School of Economics (LSE).
Growing up in Ghana, you hear stories about people getting into top universities like Harvard, Cambridge, LSE & Yale and you dream a bit. You want it too.
This distant dream just became a reality. Masters Degree bagged! – at London, England

30 young people. Ready for impact.
For the next 12 months, the 8th cohort will step into new opportunities through the UNFPA #YoLePlus. They’ll build experience, receive mentorship, strengthen leadership & work-readiness skills, access opportunities to engage the UN system.
My Royal Ascot debut this year 🐎🎩✨
Came for the races, stayed for the fashion, people-watching and the sheer spectacle of it all. And yes. . .I may have understood the dress code a little too well. 😅
Thanks to HGEM for the invitation. 🇬🇧 #RoyalAscot – at Ascot, South East

Yes, those photos you’ve seen are real.
More than 18 years ago, a baby named Lamine Yamal and his mom Sheila met Lionel Messi at a UNICEF fundraising photoshoot.
Today, their achievements on the pitch inspire millions. Off the pitch, both Messi and Lamine Yamal use their voices and platforms as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors to support and advocate for children around the world.
The goal? That every child survives, thrives, and fulfils their potential.
We are proud to have them on our team.
