I first visited Ghana in April 2009. It felt like home, familiar, like Trinidad and Tobago in ways I could not explain. I returned again in November, already feeling pulled toward something I could not yet name.
In May 2010, Rita Marley invited me to join her work at the Bob and Rita Marley Foundation in Ghana. I came. When that chapter ended, I chose to stay.
Since then, I have trained young women in natural hair care and launched the Future Leaders youth program in Cape Coast and that work taught me what is possible when you invest in Ghanaian youth.
Now, with Cocoa Café Ghana Academy, I am bringing together everything I have learned. This booklet tells that story.
We do not ask for government funding. We ask for your endorsement to open doors, to lend credibility, and to help this model serve young people across Ghana.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
