This week I speak to a Ghanaian youth activist who grew up in the slums of Accra in a place called Chorkor. This young African does not hold his tongue when it comes to issues of national development and that is something he says he got from his mom. “…my mom would be like if you don’t like something, say it, if you are not comfortable, say it” he shares. He shares how growing up in the slums and schooling in the Northern part of Ghana have shaped his purpose and drive. We spoke about youth representation and why that matters for national development. The hottest policy debate in Ghana right now- the E-levy, also came up in our chat. We agreed and disagreed on some areas of our discussion but that's what makes a good conversation isn't it? Whether you are big on youth activism or not, this is one not to miss. Emmanuel Odonkor is my guest this week on the podcast.
