Major/minor: Psychology, Criminal Justice Giving Back: As a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., I take pride in our purpose of providing “service to all mankind.” While president of my Chapter, we were involved in a number of on and off campus programs including HIV and AIDS Awareness, Economic Growth, Drunk Driving, Voter Registration, Health Care, etc. We also organize an annual fashion show to raise awareness and money for breast cancer research. Following the fatal shootings of two law enforcement officers by an inmate in Blacksburg, Va., we held a raffle and donated all proceeds to a memorial fund created for the families of the officers.
I am currently working as co-founder of the ReachingGhana Foundation, a non-profit international organization created to carry out food and clothing to impoverished families in Ghana. We collaborated with AB's Royal Beach Resort for their 4Th Annual Christmas Banquet to provide food and gifts to over 400 students in the near by villages in Kokrobite, Ghana.
Five-Year Aspirational Plan: My ambition for the next five years is to increase literacy in Africa and create more jobs. I hope to establish groups of educators and volunteers to conduct free classes to teach reading, writing, and mathematics. In addition, I aim to establish job centers to provide help and training for those looking for work.
Country you are representing: Ghana Platform: My objective is to reduce poverty in Africa by education and economic development. |
