When he was telling the story of the Chinese guys that said that they were moving to Ghana and the friend of Ghanaian descent being confused, It made me think, every other group knows the power of Black people apart from Black people.

Shout out to the organisers of afrofuture n other event organisers during December in Ghana . I love the events when I was in Ghana, last year was a blast looking forward to this year 🙌 💖

[@kilorparkes]

It is really beautiful to see us coming together to have a good time. But, I hope we will harness this energy to vastly improve our economic circumstances. And to, at least, reduce the exploitation of our natural and human resources by others.

[@naaopoku8480]

Beautiful interview, very proud of what you, Kenny & your crew have accomplished.

[@adinamack6317]

I’m preparing a travel document for a trip to Panafest in July, I have 30 people going. This interview is right on time.

[@aishasolomon7447]

He is so knowledgeable and brilliant at honing in on opportunities to grow business relationships. His life story before this point shows how people who leaving the continent and come back can use their knowledge and experience to grow their countries and create opportunities for their people.
