Forces That Unite - Day 2

TED conferences have long been one of the best places to share ideas, success stories, or even failures, talk about how to achieve your goal and more. TEDxAccra, which was made in partnership with CEEK, allows each of you to hear many stories that will teach you something new, inspire, and make you understand why Africa is so beautiful. The theme of this conference is Forces That Unite. Those of you who are familiar with the history of Ghana will understand that it was inspired by the speech of the first president of Ghana, political theorist, and revolutionary Kwame Nkrumah. He understood that by grouping Africa's forces in various fields, finding a common language, and developing each country with the support of others, it was possible to build an extremely powerful continent where everyone could live in excellent conditions. TED has a similar idea, albeit in a different area. It doesn't matter what country you are from or what your profession is. Here you can hear stories from people who have been in different life situations and highlight some points that will help you. Many prominent Ghanaian figures in business or other areas participate in TEDxAccra. These include: Vic Mensa - Artist and Activist; Eugene Ayisi - Founding Director, Dominion Capital; Ivy Prosper - Pan African Ambassador, Producer, TV Host, Author; Thebe Ikalafeng - Founder & Chairman of Brand Leadership, Founder & Principal of Africa Brand Leadership Academy; June Gachui - Principal consultant in JGIP Consultants, Lawyer, Singer, Artist, and Entrepreneur; Amma Gyampo - Co-Founder and CEO of ScaleUp Africa; Joshua Andrews-Egyir - Educator and Activist; Safo Aconnor - Podcast Host of The Conversations in the Dark; Chiziterem Uwaga - Founder of SmartSeal, Co-Founder of Junity; Mohammed Shehu - B2B Marketing Professional, Content Strategist; Kym Oliver - Co-Founder of Triple Cripples; Iyin Aboyeji - Co-Founder of Future Africa, Entrepreneur, Investor; Sally Osafo - Civil Engineer, Transtech Consult; Michael Amey - CEO, Koi International Worship Center.
