From local action to global vision 🇬🇭🌍
As part of the diaspora, with Dutch–Surinamese roots and a heritage that leads back to Ghana, my work here feels both deeply personal and purpose-driven.
Recently, I’ve been deepening my work in Ghana around issues that connect local realities to global justice. At the international level, United Nations discussions continue to evolve — including efforts led by Ghana to have slavery recognized as one of the gravest crimes against humanity.
And I’ve experienced firsthand how these global inequalities still show up today.
In 2021, while traveling from Ghana to South Africa with a group of Ghanaian creatives, I was able to enter visa-free with my Dutch passport.They, however, had to go through visa processes just to make the same journey.
Same trip.Different realities.
That moment stayed with me.
Because it reflects how history, policy, and access are still unevenly distributed — even within the same community.
The good news: things are shifting. Policies are slowly changing. And bit by bit, movement and access are becoming more equitable which also will attribute thriving businesses and economic empowerment.
