Ghana
I design and scale institutional models that translate vision into structured, cross-border impact. Over the past decade, I have led multi-country youth mobilization and climate governance initiatives across the continent, building institutional frameworks, negotiating government partnerships, and structuring participation platforms that enable young people to influence policy and systems. I specialize in converting ideas into operational ecosystems. From co-developing and replicating Youth Climate Council models with formal government engagement, to building eco-club networks that mobilized over 50,000 students across multiple countries, my work focuses on institutionalizing youth leadership, not just activating it. I have structured partnerships between youth movements and national institutions, designed governance frameworks that integrate young people into formal climate processes, and scaled models from one city to multiple countries. I led the creation of Ghana’s first structured waste recovery model (Zero waste) built from proposal to implementation, negotiating municipal partnerships, securing land acquisition, establishing material recovery facilities, and integrating disadvantaged waste workers into formal systems. The model was subsequently adapted and scaled to multiple African Countries through cross-sector collaboration. Alongside systems leadership, I speak globally on youth governance and institutional reform, bridging activism and structured influence. I have addressed international platforms including Bloomberg, UN forums, Ecologi Q and C40 Cities, and contributed to UN and EU-aligned climate governance processes. I also founded B.Inspired with Stories from Africa (B.ISA), a pan-African narrative infrastructure platform amplifying youth, climate, and social justice leadership across the continent. Through B.ISA, I have built cross-country storytelling ecosystems, strengthened NGO communication capacity, and positioned African-led solutions within global discourse spaces. Across sectors, from waste systems to energy transitions, my work centers on one principle: Youth mobilization must be structured, institutionalized, and scalable to shape lasting systems change. I am particularly interested in global youth governance platforms, institutional reform for youth participation, and designing replicable models that elevate youth leadership beyond consultation toward co-creation.
Oversee GAYO’s programs, internal operations, and strategic initiatives, ensuring impactful program delivery and operational excellence across multiple countries
Executing executive management and strategic planning, I oversee all aspects of the organization, fostering a generation of young professionals dedicated to promoting sustainability, advancing climate action, and mitigating community vulnerabilities to both climate and socio-economic risks. I lead comprehensive fundraising initiatives, employing strategic approaches to secure financial resources that drive organizational objectives.
I coordinated and replicated the Zero Waste Cities Project in four municipalities in Ghana, aiming to foster green jobs and promote environmental sustainability.
In today's rapidly changing landscape, the circular economy stands out as a pioneering framework for a regenerative and resilient future. Gender equity is a significant factor in ensuring the success of the transition from linear to circular practices. Our ambitious journey as part of the G100 1 Million Mission for Gender Equity has the potential to become a lighthouse for women across various sectors, inspiring and empowering them to start or drive their businesses circularly.
I served as a representative for youth in global mayor forums, offering feedback on initiatives aimed at contributing to the Global New Deal. Additionally, I provide advice on effective youth engagement in the realms of climate advocacy and green jobs
After spending seven years working directly with communities and listening to their untold stories, I realized one recurring need — the need to be heard. That inspired me to create this organization, dedicated to amplifying grassroots voices across Africa. Through storytelling, we build the capacity of local changemakers, nurture youth ambassadors, and shine a light on the innovative, resilient, and inspiring work happening within African communities every day.
