I have been traveling to Ghana since 1999 when I co-coordinated a Rites of Passage Study Tour with my father and since then been organizing group tours for youth and adults to Africa and the Diaspora. My first trip to Ghana inspired me to create a non-profit organization that provided cultural enrichment programs and services. I am excited about this next chapter with the learning lab and creating digital content and virtual classes. Reviews
