Hey :)

I am a 25 year old student living in London, England. I just completed my Master in Public Policy. I was born and bred in London but my parents are from Ghana. I am a travelling fanatic, have travelled to over 20 countries now, hoping to do many more. I love politics - I know people think it’s boring but it’s so interesting. Currently, on track to work in a political field (just don’t know what lane I want to go into lol)

I'm always looking forward to meeting new people and getting to know their culture. Some things I’ve done: *Spent a week in a jungle in Malaysia.
*Built schools and hospitals in Borneo
*Learnt how to sew in Ghana
*Learnt how to snowboard in Bulgaria
*Lived in China for two months
*Lived in America for a year
*Spoken at parliament (in Westminster, England) a few times
*Currently looking for more policy opportunities.

I am always looking to try out new things, have new adventures and make new memories.

Was on featured on British Vogue for politics and modelling!

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn more languages and cultures. I enjoy the experience of other people, it will enable me to learn from individual and hopefully gain new skills in the making. I also sew: made bikinis, dresses, top etc. My parents are Ghanaian and Nigeria, so I can teach you all about that aspect of my heritage!
