I am an undergraduate student nurse at KNUST, pursuing my passion for healthcare in the College of Health and Allied Sciences. Beyond the classroom, I have a unique calling - I serve as a tour guide for the Ghana Tourism Authority, specializing in the history of the transatlantic slave trade.
My journey began at Pikworo Slave Camp in Paga, a poignant symbol of this dark chapter in history. Here, I engage communities, individuals, and tourist groups, igniting their understanding of the complexities and impact of the slave trade.
But my role extends beyond mere narration. Through research participation, I've played a crucial part in reuniting families separated by this tragic past. The joy of connecting individuals to their ancestral roots fuels my dedication to this meaningful work.
As a research assistant, I've actively contributed to research efforts, diligently collecting samples, facilitating focus group discussions, and conducting interviews. Importantly, I've helped diasporans reconnect with their families by guiding them to their ancestral villages, forging powerful bonds across generations.
My passion lies in bridging the gap between history and humanity. I strive to not only educate but also inspire, fostering reconciliation and understanding through the power of shared experience.
