Summary

Today we invite you on a journey to Ghana, Africa, as we meet a media mogul and influential leader, Nana Aba Anamoah. Nana Aba has utilized her position and influence to raise awareness around several social concerns in Ghana, from Tramador drug abuse (a powerful narcotic) to political corruption, LGBTQIA+ concerns, poverty, and lack of access to medical care by so very many who are simply too poor to afford access, or who are gay or transgender and are therefore denied access. She is a stellar example of the power of influence, and of standing up for what you believe and facing fear of retribution.
