Adisa Amanor-Wilks is the founder and CEO of Abjel Communications, a social enterprise communications agency focused on Africa, and a former journalist of 18 years’ experience working in the public, private and charity sectors across continents. As the first Ghanaian on the podcast, Kojo and Adisa challenge the ideas of the known Ghanaian hospitality into a rabbit hole of tracing our counter-perspectives to independence/pre-colonial times, even African unity and identity.Adisa takes us through her path to journalism with a passionate tribute to some of Ghana's giants in the industry, the role of Radio-Univers, a student-based mentorship-focused radio in constantly shaping illustrious journalists, and how rote education needs to embrace such practicality. We talk about her decision to emigrate to the UK, why she started her communication agency, the struggles of being a single founder, and the inspirational story of the non-profit, DWIB Leukemia Trust, in which she serves as trustee.Consider supporting our fundraiser via the link attached if you enjoyed this episode. bit.ly/fundCAPodVisit the DWIB Leukaemia Trust at https://www.dwibuk.org/ Hosted on Acast.
