Along with my compatriot Paa Kofi from Ghana and Jean-Paul from Rwanda, we were welcomed at O'Hare International Airport with one of the warmest welcomes I have witnessed from tired people.
Could it have been any better, when a follow-up email by IREX notified me that I was placed in the Leadership in Business track at the esteemed Northwestern, Kellogg School of Management? Now, this was no longer a dream, it was a reality.įast-forward, after over ten (10) hours of direct flight from Kotoka International Airport, I landed in Washington Dulles transiting to Chicago, Illinois.
That’s a breath of fresh air for a dreamer like me to go into the land of the free and the home of the brave with the opportunity to learn in a different way and network in ways capable to open the matrix and give wings to my dreams and vision for a better world. Now back at the bus after an exhilarating experience and in network reach, my phone kept buzzing with notifications and the first email notification I saw was from the US Embassy in Ghana with a congratulatory message – I had been selected to participate in the prestigious Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders by the US Department of State. As the saying goes, “A short pencil is better than a long memory”, thus, I quickly drafted the concept notes for this idea on my phone - ready to be explored with my team.
