Growing up in Chicago, I cultivated resilience and ambition, which eventually led me to become a Posse Scholar at DePauw University. There, I earned my degree in Political Science, laying the foundation for a versatile and impactful career.
After completing my undergraduate studies, I gained valuable experience across various industries, including consulting for healthcare startups, logistics, and business development. These roles sharpened my analytical, leadership, and entrepreneurial skills. However, my desire to create meaningful change led me to pursue a career in law. In 2023, I earned my Juris Doctor from Northern Illinois University College of Law, where I also obtained a Civil Advocacy Certification through my pro bono work with underserved women facing domestic violence and individuals in Rockford, IL’s prison systems.
During law school, I delved into corporate transactions work through opportunities with Big Law firms and biotechnology companies, focusing on corporate labor, employment, business operations and AI responsibilities. I also held multiple leadership roles, including serving on the Student Bar Association, which allowed me to enhance my advocacy and organizational skills.
Post-graduation, my passion for global justice took me to Geneva, Switzerland, where I collaborated with human rights lawyers at the United Nations. Together, we addressed pressing economic, political, and societal challenges, particularly those impacting Africa. This experience deepened my commitment to advancing international human rights.
Currently, I am an entrepreneur focused on empowering small business owners in underserved communities. Over the past few years, I have built and developed innovative systems to provide these entrepreneurs with the tools and resources needed to compete on an equal playing field. I am also dedicated to mentoring young Black men, educating them on the economic dynamics of the U.S. capitalist system, and inspiring them to leverage Artificial Intelligence and emerging technologies for the benefit of their communities.
My ultimate goal is to be a champion for equity, education, and empowerment in underserved communities. I remain deeply connected to my Ghanaian roots, working with the Ghana School of Law and engaging in political and educational initiatives to foster development in Ghana. My journey is fueled by a commitment to creating impactful solutions and fostering opportunities for individuals and communities around the world.
