After earning my Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication and Journalism from BlueCrest College, my life’s mission has centered around advocacy and storytelling—amplifying the voices of those in need.
Driven by this passion, I founded “Akosombo Girl,” a platform on Instagram and Tiktok where I use my journalism skills to highlight the struggles within my community and build awareness through social media. This initiative has grown into a powerful support system that connects those in need with people who care.
I also launched the SUUKUVI Project Initiative, which is dedicated to improving the lives of school children in rural areas by providing essential items such as uniforms, shoes, books, and supplies to keep children in school.
Through collaborations with organizations like FIFIAWOTO Foundation, Dream On, the Warrior King Watches, and my incredible social media community, we’ve been able to:
- Fund eye surgeries
- Help teenage mothers return to school
- Provide housing for families in need
- Provide medical care for a variety of illnesses
- Distribute food and school uniforms
- Launch small businesses
Looking ahead, I aim to pursue a master’s degree in social welfare to enhance my capacity to serve Ghanaian communities more effectively. I also plan to launch a program that will focus on vocational skills training for young mothers, become a recognized philanthropist in Ghana, and build lasting partnerships with NGOs and institutions that are committed to socioeconomic development.
Thank you to Vicki Blumberg and Rick Hughes for supporting my educational journey and medical care. Thank you, Jennifer Millett-Barrett (Mafa) for being my mentor and an inspiring example of a true humanitarian.

In Memoriam

These photos were taken in the years that Wisdom lived in the Dream On Home.
Wisdom
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of a member of the Dream On family. Fifteen years ago, Wisdom was living at home and attending school when the course of his life changed in an instant. He was kidnapped and trafficked from Ghana to Nigeria as part of a large-scale human trafficking and forced labor operation. He was forced to work on a farm under the supervision of armed guards with hundreds of other children.
Wisdom attempted to escape and when he was caught, he was beaten to within “an inch of his life,” as he described. Months later, on a heavy rain-soaked night, he made a second attempt to escape and was successful. It took Wisdom eight months to walk back to Ghana, stopping for periods of time to work for food along the way. Once in Ghana, Wisdom reported his experience and the trafficking operation to authorities. He was placed in the Dream On Home where he tried to heal and rebuild his life.
Wisdom’s trauma was extensive, and it was challenging for him to resume normal activities, such as maintain focus in school. Despite the care provided for him and his own advocacy for his siblings to come under the care of Dream On, after a few years, Wisdom decided he wanted his independence. He left the home.
