Why you should listen to her talk: Ghana is among many African countries faced with the challenge of controlling pockets of internal civil conflict. Every year a lot of lives are lost, homes and hopes are shattered, with an alarming rate of rising poverty and political reputational costs.
This poses challenges to the youth in such areas and curtails their ability to rise above the odds. Overall it deflects the ratio of national development to personal growth of citizens affected. My long term goal is to create a new crop of developmental thinkers who will curb it totally through tailor-made social media solutions and mentoring.
